Simple shaping, basic stitches, and minimal finishing make these mittens ideal for knitters who prefer straightforward construction with warm, wearable results.

Helpful video tutorials are available to guide you through any stitch techniques you may not know, making this a great pattern for visual learners. Whether you’re knitting a gift, pre
