ABOUT THE PATTERN
Yarnesty’s mittens are knitted from the top down starting with the thumb. After that, you cast on the top of the mitten, and knit the hand part. The two parts are joined together, and the lifeline gusset is created. This version of a gusset is one I like, as it fits very well on my hands. After the gusset is finished, a cuff in 1x1 rib is knitted. After the cuff has been bound off, the stitches between the thumb and the hand are grafted together.

NOTIONS AND NEEDLES
3 stitch markers

2 unique Beginning of round markers

3 locking markers

1 Darning needle
Extra needles, scrap yarn, flox or cords to put the thumb sts on hold.
Needles for small circumference knitting, in a size to obtain gauge. For example circulars with lengths at least 80cm, double pointed needles, small 23 cm circular or CrazyTrios/FlexiFlops.
When the sample was knitted, gauge was obtained on needles 3.75 mm.
Note that I am a tight knitter. You might need to go down a needle size or two, to 2.5-3.5mm needles.
