Mitts are worked in the round, seamlessly from the bottom up, in 1x1 & 2x2 ribbing. The thumb gusset is worked in stockinette stitch and finished with 2x2 ribbing. Both mittens are worked in the same way.
They can be worked either on double-pointed needles or on a long circular needle using the Magic Loop technique.

Yarn: since fingerless mitts can get dirty, you’ll want to choose a durable yarn that you can easily wash. Plied, soft yarn with good elasticity is recommended
