Happy New Year Mittens & Mitts

Notes

• Sizes: The size of the mittens/mitts can be adjusted with yarn and needles. My recommendation would be: for S/M light fingering + 2mm needles, for M use fingering + 2.25/2.5 mm needles, for large use sport weight and 2.5/3 mm needles.

• Options: You can follow the same pattern to make either full mittens or mitts version. Special instructions (notes) will be given for the mitts option.

There is also an option for a 64 or a 60-stitch cuff. Choose the one that fits you best.

• Construction: The mittens/mitts are knit in the round. The front of the mitten has more stitches than the palm side of the mitten (more notes on that in the instructions). The mittens have a sore thumb construction with the thumb gusset growing from the side of the mitten. Once the thumb gusset is finished, the thumb stitches are placed on a stitch holder or scrap yarn, and you finish the body of the mitten first. Lastly, the thumb stitches are placed back on needles and the thumb is completed.
