Just about the warmest mitts you can make, worked in a double-stranded worsted weight yarn, with the addition of a bulky weight soft yarn to create a built-in lining. If you’ve ever wanted to try thrummed mittens but have been a little intimidated by how they’re made, this is a brilliant alternative. They’re just as warm and a little easier to make. Check out the Thrummish Hat pattern too and when you put both Thrummish patterns in your cart, receive $4 off!

Written for DPNs, magic loop or two circs— use whichever you prefer.

Choose a size with finished circumference approx 1/2–1 in 1–2.5cm larger than the circumference of your hand, measured around the palm. For warmth, the mittens should be a little bigger than the hand wearing them—you want to trap warm air in there!
