When ordering yarn, I suggest you purchase for one to two sizes up as yardage needed varies depending upon gauge. This will also allow you to make adjustments without risking running out of yarn. Do not forget to order yarn for both the glove liner and the mitten shell! Yardage provided for each size is just for one single layer!

These “glovens” are knit in the round from cuffs to fingertips, with increases for the thumb gussets. The thumb is knit last.

Notes:
We will be knitting a glove liner and a mitten outer shell. I suggest knitting the glove liner in the desired size. It may be knit in a lighter weight yarn. The outer shell may be knit in one yarn weight up. Too large a weight difference might make things difficult.
The mitten shell will be knit one size up for best comfort and fit.
I suggest knitting the glove liner first, then picking up the stitches at the edge of the cuff, and knitting the shell.
When you wash your “glovens”, pull the liner out, gently hand wash and hang to dry, then tuck the liner back inside the shell.
The glove liner portion of this pattern is provided in a recipe format, as finger lengths may vary greatly and you will need to do independent measuring and trying on.

If you are knitting for kids and they are at a cusp size, you may want to knit one size up to allow growing room.

For children I suggest considering knitting a cord, long enough to reach from finger tip to finger tip and attaching to each mitten. This can be fed through coat sleeves to prevent kiddos from losing their mittens.
Do NOT use a cord for Infants! It could be a choking/ strangle hazard.

Do not knit fingers for anyone unable to communicate, for safety reasons. For infants, instructions given for basic double (lined) mittens.

Skills needed:
Knit in the round
Magic loop or double pointed needles
