Quotidian Mitts are perfect for everyday wear, with simple lines and thoughtful gusset shaping. This is a great gifting pattern, with four size options and instructions for four yarn weights (fingering, sport, DK, and worsted) so you’ll always have something ready in your stash to cast on. Modifications are included for a long foldover rib or full mitten top & thumb for those wanting an even cozier knit. You can even flip them inside out for a different look!

This pattern assumes knowledge of working in the round, working twisted stitches, increases, and decreases. A video tutorial link is included for the twisted decreases.

This pattern has options for Fingering, Sport, DK, or Worsted weight yarn, all included in one pattern file.
