Designed specifically for the Knitting Level 1 class at Beehive, these simple mitts pack several key techniques into one project. The pattern introduces new knitters to casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, binding off, and seaming. Of course, for more experienced knitters, these mitts are an easy project for carrying around in your bag.
