The 2-color stranded technique makes a thermal fabric so these mittens are warmer than plain ones.

This pattern can be knit in the traditional 3-needle manner for mittens, using a Magic Loop or on multiple circulars. I prefer the method described but you may not!

Want the mittens a little bigger or a little smaller? Adjust the gauge.

These mittens are warmer knit with a slightly thicker yarn but at the same gauge — which creates a very dense fabric.
