Warm winter mitts knitted in gorgeous yarns, with a thumb gusset for comfort featuring a small peerie pattern in the centre, with DK and 4ply yarn.

Or just use 4ply yarn for a slimmer fit. I have a project page just using 4ply with more details.

Hunt through your stash for DK + 4ply yarn, and team them together to knit these lovely mitts. A great stash buster project.
