Nothing’s cozier than mittens, especially these woolly wonders. This cinchy pattern is a great way to break into double-pointed needles for the first time. A few pointers: Dividing the stitches unevenly after casting on will make for easier ribbing. Note that whenever you’re told to cast on or work a number of stitches, the first number is for smaller/girly hands and the number in parentheses is for larger/guyer hands. (But not your boyfriend’s hands. Knit for your sweetie at your own risk.) (Lion Brand Yarn)
