Introduction
These ribbed mittens, knit at a tighter than usual gauge, really give your hands a squeeze. Last winter I found myself craving some super snug fitting mittens and this three by two rib does the job. Perfect for solid, variegated or even self-patterning worsted weight yarn, why not knit up a pair or two? 
Difficulty Level: Beginner, should have a good handle on knitting ribbing in the round, and increasing/decreasing.
Skills Required: Long tail cast on, knitting in the round, increasing and decreasing, picking up stitches.
