Most of our knitted items (except for those with embellishments) are machine washable on a gentle setting. Lay flat to dry. You may also hand wash or spot treat as needed. Please note that fuzzing or pilling may occur. You can clean this up as you would a sweater.

Measuring for mittens

Measurements are available in each listing. These are approximate; because our items are handmade, dimensions may vary slightly. Sizing by age is designed for an average fit. You may also trace your hand or your child's hand on paper and measure the dimensions. Do not include the cuff in measurements, especially for babies and small children, who naturally have a slight curl in their hand.

Why are Marion's Mittens special?

Marion's Mittens are knitted by hand from acrylic yarn. We love this material because it's machine washable, durable, and good for people with skin sensitivities or allergies. Knitted by hand using small (size 2, 3, or 4) double pointed needles, our mittens are tightly knit to keep you warm. Our traditional mittens are knitted from a pattern designed more than 60 years ago by Marion. These are the classic mittens that YOUR grandma used to make! They are soft and stretchy. We also offer knitted and crocheted scarves and baby afghans, as well as finely knitted baby sweater sets.

Custom and personalized orders

100% of the payment is due in advance for custom orders. Custom orders are taken based on our availability to complete them within your time frame. Everything is handmade and each pair of mittens takes hours to complete. We can accommodate these requests with a reasonable lead time, however! For large orders, assume one week for every three pairs of mittens needed.

This is a knitting pattern for mittens with no thumbs. Also known as scratch mittens, they protect a baby's face and keep little hands warm. To use this pattern you should know how to knit and purl in the round using four double pointed needles, and how to decrease by knitting two stitches together.

The pattern shows you how to create mittens for preemies, newborn mittens, and mittens for toddlers up to 24 months of age. Tried and tested: Marion has been using a variation of this pattern since the 1940s!

Cute baby shower gift idea! Also great for little kids at Christmas. These can be worn year round, not just during the winter.
