Northward -mitts are a part of my Northward accessory set. The mitts are knit top down and have no regular thumb gusset, but they have a little trick to make them fit the hands well even without it. Northward uses three colours, but you only work two colours at a time. The pattern repeat is divisible by 4, so there is no long floats to catch. Due to small repeats the size is also easily adjusted. Northward would be a great project for a fairly new colourwork knitter, too!
