I love this mitten pattern- it’s super fast and easy, it’s worked entirely flat, and there’s no need for double pointed needles or anything. The only other tools you need are a stitch holder (for the thumb) and a darning needle.

There’s just one problem- the original knitting directions for the palm don’t match up to the number of stitches they give you. So I’ve gone ahead and written up revised instructions to fix that problem; for your convenience, the full set of instructions is included below.

Enjoy! pigeoning :)
