ABOUT THE PROJECT
Beginners Mittens are a lovely, beginner-friendly project! They are worked in garter stitch, so you’ll only need to knit on both the right and wrong sides. The mittens have a ribbed cuff that can be folded down for extra length – practical for jackets with shorter sleeves.

The mittens are knitted flat, eliminating the need for double-pointed needles. The thumb is knitted separately and attached later. Finally, the mittens are crocheted together using single crochet stitches (or sewn together with a darning needle if you prefer).
