DIY Crochet Pattern Doll Mittens

Are you a crafty type of person that likes to make and crochet things for your 18 inch dolls?


With this easy doll mitten pattern designed by TracysDesigns1, you can crochet these 18" doll clothes mittens in a variety of colors!  
This pattern is made to fit 18 inch dolls such as the American Girl dolls, Our Generation dolls, My Life dolls, Springfield Collection dolls, and other similar shaped 18 inch dolls.

It's important to keep your doll's hands warm in the winter months.  You don't want their little hands to get frostbitten!  (Plus, if the doll is wearing mittens it might encourage your daughter/granddaughter to wear theirs, too!)

Make them in a variety of colors to match their outfits, and/or their coats and jackets!

This crochet pattern is so simple, it can be crocheted by a beginner.  Even children that know some basic crochet stitches can make these mittens for their dolls, using some scrap amounts of yarn!

Type of yarn used:  100% Acrylic ~ 4 ply yarns.   In the picture I used Hobby Lobby's Yarn: "I Love This Yarn", although Red Heart and Caron acrylic yarns would also work great!  (Although I think the "I love this Yarn" is softer, so easier to crochet with, and of course more soft and comfortable for the doll to wear.)

Amount of yarn needed:  Small amount, less than 1 oz of yarn.   
* Note: This is a great was to use up some small scrap amounts of yarn that you haven't wanted to waste and throw away, but wasn't really sure what to use them for!  If you're really creative, you could even crochet the most of the rows in one color and then change to another color for the last couple of rows of the mitten, so that it looks like cuff/binding on them.

Skill Level: Easy
Stitches used to make these mittens: Chain, Single Crochet, Invisible Decrease, and Slip Stitch.
