Knitters who make these mittens will learn about Maine mitten construction by knitting a child sized mitten in two colors, circularly on double pointed needles.

Techniques include
<ul>
<li>options for the cuff (stockinette stitch patterning, corrugated ribbing, k3, p1 ribbing)
<li>developing the thumb gusset by increasing in full pattern multiples
<li>traditional motifs
<li>tip shaping at the end of the mitten which maintains the patterning
