Patterns
These Easy-Peasy Knitted Mitts are a good pattern for knitting beginners to start off with.
The pattern is a guide to have fun with - adjust it to suit thickness of wool or the size of the finished mitts, or differ the length of ribbing. The ribbing can be just a couple of rows to make dinky mitts.
