Knit basic knit mittens in all sizes with worsted weight yarn and this knitting pattern. Use a solid color yarn, or try a variegated yarn to add more color.

This is an easy to intermediate knitting pattern that requires knowledge of double point needles, knitting in the round, and simple increases & decreases. I used solid colors of Caron Simply Soft for the design, but you can substitute any worsted weight yarn in this pattern. Make sure you check your gauge.
