Bath Mitt – Spa Set

Another addition to the Spa Set. Here is a free bath mitt pattern for you!

This is great for scrubbing up the kiddies, or for pampering yourself. I have made two sizes, a small because I like my bath mitts to fit snugly, and a medium because I know a lot of people like the mitts to be looser. The pattern can be made with a thumb or with just a thumb hole, and with or without a ribbed bottom.

  1. I am not coming out with 28 stitches at the end of round 3 can you check your pattern instructions again also what do you mean by sc in the last stitch of the hdc? and get back with me please I would love to make a spa set for my beautiful hard working daughter for Mother’s Day and this needs to be included

    Reply
    • You are most likely coming out with 27, then you need to sc in the last st again. That is what Sc in the same st as the last hdc means, just sc in the last st again.

      • No I have 28 stitches but between the last row where the stitch marker is and the last stitch of this row I have an extra stitch, I guess I am not understanding your pattern instructions the counts do not come out right I have tried and tried but thank you for trying to help I give up on this one for this year

        • I double checked the counts, and they are right, so maybe your stitch marker is not in the right spot. It is really easy to add 1 st to every round when working in the round if you don’t get the marker in the right spot.
