construction
Mitts are worked in the round, seamlessly from the bottom up, in 1x1 & 2x2 ribbing with yarn over pass over stitches. The thumb gusset is worked in stockinette stitch and finished with 2x2 ribbing. Both mittens are worked in the same way.
They can be worked either on double-pointed needles or on a long circular needle using the Magic Loop technique.

Dimensions: Usually, fingerless mitts will look small during the knitting process. Don’t worry too much they will stretch when you put them on! If you’re nervous, you can try on your gloves a few times throughout the knitting process to check the fit.
