The Very Basic Chunky Mittens pattern includes instructions for 4 sizes -
Child, Teen, Woman and Man (6”, 7”, 8” and 9” hand circumference).

The Very Basic Chunky Mittens are knit seamlessly in the round, at a gauge of 4 stitches per inch, on double pointed needles.

The Very Basic Chunky Mittens require between 75 and 175 yards chunky weight yarn; size 7 and size 9 double pointed needles; stitch markers, waste yarn (for temporarily holding thumb stitches, while working the hand); and a tapestry needle.

Samples were knit with Berroco Vintage Chunky yarn, but any comparable chunky weight yarn will work for these mittens.

Skills required are casting on, knitting in the round, purling, increasing, decreasing, and picking up stitches (for thumb).

These Very Basic Chunky Mittens knit up so quickly - you’ll want to make a pair for everyone you know!
