Simple Sweet Baby Mitts

I do have an excuse for not posting in a while! Had a baby. :) But here's a baby related pattern for you. An easy quick one. Good for baby shower gifts, as part of a gift set or to whip up for winter or a baby that scratches their little face. My new little model:

Serenity Dawn Scofield
