30 years ago my grandmother “Nana” taught me to knit mittens. She didn’t have a pattern because she had knit so many pairs, 26 pairs one Christmas alone.

This is her basic mitten pattern. Its the perfect pattern for your first pair of mittens. It uses only one increase, the kfb, and only one decrease, the k2tog.
