No matter what style woolen gloves or mittens you have on, in order to do just about anything, you have to remove them, so not having thumbs really makes no difference. This is an easy written pattern to follow including many tips to adjust the size so it can fit anyone. I just used yarn I had in my stash, but any Bulky #5 weight yarn will work. These are knitted from the cuff up using circular needles and the Magic Loop method. This is the perfect pattern for a beginner.
