These nifty mitts were designed with handspun yarn in mind. They are knit from the top down so you can keep going until you run out of yarn. The thumb is knit when you get to it.

They come in both small and large sizes and use a technique called corrugated ribbing which is a good introduction to colourwork. The stranded knitting makes the mitts very warm and padded. Ideal for cycling in winter!

This pattern was designed for the 4 ounce challenge on Ravelry. It includes spinning instructions, but may also be knit from commercial fingering weight (sock) yarn.
