This pattern is available from etsy.com for C$4.00.

Any worsted weight yarn of your choice can be used with this pattern.

You will need 4.5 mm (US 7) Double Pointed Needles to work the thumb stitches

The simple design of these mitts is clean and classy and works well in any colour for keeping your wrists and hands warm while keeping your fingers free. It goes well with any outfit and any occasion! Great for making gifts or for adding that perfect accessory to your wardrobe.

I suggest using the Invisible Ribbed Bind-Off method for this project as it leaves a clean edge to your work. I found online video instruction to be much more helpful with learning this technique than written instruction or diagrams.

Stitch markers, row markers, and a stitch holder (or contrasting yarn) are useful in this pattern.

As long as the thumb is kept in the center of the pattern, it is easily re-sized by increasing the number of cast on stitches by twos.
