A great way to use up Thick and Thin yarn!

These mittens are knit flat using simple stockinette and garter stitches, great for novice knitters. The left and right mittens are identical, there is no L/R differentiation.

Usually I’m pretty lax on gauge, but I HIGHLY recommend knitting a swatch for this project. Thick and Thin yarn can be unpredictable. Be prepared to adjust your needle size to meet gauge.

Available in women’s sizes small, medium, and large. To choose the correct size, measure hand width across the knuckles:
Small: 5.5-6.5cm
Medium: 6.5-7.5cm
Large: 7.5-8.5cm

I managed to knit pair of small mittens with a single skein of yarn, but I recommend having a spare just in case.
