These mittens utilize the squishy, stretchy,
yet strong half-twisted rib stitch. Mittens
often get lost in our big family and I don’t
think we’re alone. Knit up a new pair in
no time to replace a pair of lost mittens or
gift a freshly (and quickly) knitted pair to
someone special in your life.

Native mittens are worked from the cuff up to the
fingertips, in half twisted rib stitch. After the long
cuff is finished, increases are made to widen the
mittens and accommodate the thumb. Once thumb
stitches are placed on hold, the length of the mitten
is finished. Finally, the thumb stitches go back onto
the needles and the mitten is finished.
