Introducing our Simple Garter Rib Mitts with Thumb Gussets! These beautifully crafted mitts are perfect for knitters of all skill levels who want to create a stylish and functional accessory. Measuring approximately 7 inches in length, these mitts are designed to be unisex, with both mitts being identical – no right or left hand required! This versatility makes them an ideal gift for anyone.

Skills Required: To knit these mitts, you should be comfortable with the following techniques: long-tail cast-on, increasing, and decreasing. Whether you're a beginner looking to expand your skills or an experienced knitter wanting a quick project, this pattern is a fantastic choice.

Needle Recommendations: For this pattern, I personally prefer using two circular needles, a method that I find particularly effective for knitting small circumferences. This technique allows for an easier and more enjoyable knitting experience. I also recommend using a second set of needles to knit the thumbs while the hands are still on the needles. This method creates a seamless thumb gusset, eliminating any holes and providing a neat finish without the need for mid-knit cast-on. Additionally, you can opt to use three double-pointed needles (dpns) if that’s your preferred method of working on the thumb.

These Simple Garter Rib Mitts are a fantastic project for anyone looking to practice their knitting skills while creating a practical and stylish accessory. Don't miss out on knitting these easy and delightful mitts that are perfect for any occasion!
