Regular geometric shapes and short runs of each colour make these mittens easy enough for someone relatively new to stranded knitting, while being interesting enough for a more advanced knitter.

There are some written instructions, but the pattern is primarily graphed.

Mittens are adult-sized. Smaller size is 8” around and larger is 9” around.

As shown, mittens are knitted with 4 colours of sportweight yarn. You could knit them with more colours or less, but choose colours with enough contrast between neighbours to make the pattern pop - a good way of using up partial skeins of multiple colours.

The sample shown was knitted in Knit Picks WOTA sport, and used the following approximate quantities for small (large) size.
Colour 1 (green): 25g / 70yds (42g / 115 yds)
Colour 2 (white): 36g / 100 yds (60g / 165 yds)
Colour 3: (brown): 29g / 80 yds (47 g / 130 yds)
Colour 4: (tan): 14g / 40 yds (24 g / 65 yds)

Notions needed: Blunt needle, scrap yarn or stitch holder for gusset stitches, stitch marker to mark gusset.

If you want a fingerless mitt version, the large size pattern with fingering-weight yarn works well; stop about 1.5” after finishing the thumb gusset, and add about 6 rounds of ribbing to hand and thumb openings, then bind off.
