Here is an easy and quick pair of mittens. These mittens are ideal for beginner knitters who want to take their skills up a notch. They are knit in the round and the thick yarn makes them a quick knit. Either mitten can be worn on either hand. Easy!
We worked quite sparingly with the yarn. If you are knitting a larger size we recommend you buy an extra hank of yarn.

Some hints on how to change the size of the mittens:
Use 4.00mm needles instead of 4.5mm. This will make them a little smaller overall.
The pattern repeat is 3 stitches. To make them smaller or larger subtract or add stitches in lots of three.
For a larger thumb gusset repeat thumb increases until there are 17sts between the markers.
For a smaller thumb gusset repeat thumb increases until there are 13sts between the markers.
Although we have not experimented with this we think that using 8 ply yarn and 3.25mm needles will produce a child’s size.
