baby mittens


I made these in February of 2009 when my sister was pregnant with my nephew. At the time I couldn't find a pattern I really liked, so I made these up. I've seen some added to Ravelry since then.
My sister said she never used these. She said his fingers would poke through the little holes, but I can't remember seeing him with mittens on, ever. 
I think this was my first pattern, so I hope everything is right. I hope I’ve used the correct terms. Please let me know if you find something wrong or have any questions.

H Hook
Rnd 1: 8 single chain in ring. (8)
Pull “tail” to tighten ring.
Slip stitch (sl. st.) in first ring.
-For the following, do not join rnds unless noted, and use marker to keep track of where the beginning or ends are (whichever you prefer).
Rnd 2: 1 sc in each sc (8)
Rnd 3: 2 sc in each sc (16)
Rnd 4: 1 sc each in next 3 sc, then 2 sc in next 1 sc and repeat until end of rnd. (20)
Rnds 5-8: 1 sc in each sc (20)
Rnd 9: 1 sc in next 2 sc, sc 2 together 5 times, sl. st. into 1st ch of last rnd, chain 2 (15)
Rnd 10: Double chain in each sc (15), sl. st. into 2nd ch. st. made earlier at beginning of rnd.
Scalloped edge: in next stitch, 1 sc, 1dc, 1 sc (same stitch), sl. st. in next st. repeat until end
Finish off and weave ends in.
Weave ribbon, string, or yarn, in between DCs and tie in bow.
