Twist mittens
Twist mittens and fingerless mittens are knitted in a chunky yarn that shows the texture of the stitches beautifully.
You start both styles of mitten in the same way up to the fingers. Either, you shape the fingerless mittens using the one-over-two cast-off used for the cowl or you carry on knitting the mittens, then finish them with the crochet cast-off used for the hat. Finally, you knit the folk-style thumbs, with no shaping necessary.
Patterns for a matching hat and cowl are also available.
You can purchase all the patterns in Twist Collection together in a single booklet or separately. All the patterns in Twist Collection are available to purchase here as a digital pdf downloads, or as printed booklets (together with a free Ravelry download code) from the Being Knitterly webstore.

Other details
This pattern is available in two versions: there’s one written for those who knit left-handed as well as the standard one for those who knit right-handed.
Most of you knit right-handed, that is, your stitches move from the left to right needle as you knit: choose “knitting right-handed”.
Some of you knit left-handed, that is, your stitches move from the right to left needle as you knit: choose “knitting left-handed”.
If you are a left-handed knitter who knits right-handed, that is your stitches move from the left to right needle, you should choose “knitting right-handed”.
