These extra thick, cozy mittens are a quick and satisfying knit, perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a fast, practical project. The pattern is knit flat on two straight needles—no double-pointed needles or knitting in the round required. Simple shaping, basic stitches, and minimal finishing make these mittens ideal for knitters who prefer straightforward construction with warm, wearable results.

The pattern includes instructions for four adult sizes: small, medium, large, and extra-large. You’ll use either two strands of worsted weight yarn held together or a single strand of super bulky yarn, along with 5 mm (US size 8) straight needles, to create a thick, insulating fabric that’s perfect for cold winter days. A ribbed cuff keeps the mittens snug at the wrist, and seaming is done after knitting. 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, preparing for winter, or stocking your market table, this is a go-to pattern you’ll return to again and again.
