Fantastic! guy mittens. Thanks, Jane in IA

Very nice

What we do in the name of inspiration when faced with tangles and color blending.  The end always justifies the means :)

I think this pattern is relatively easy to modify for a women's mitten.  My husband does not wear sweaters of any kind.  When shoveling snow he will wear a knitted hat - but will only wear leather, lined gloves.  So I want to make these for ME!

Thank you for the pattern.  I too want these for me so will try to come up with a ladies size.  

Is this obsession with mittens Knitting Daily's response to some freezing August weather conditions brought about by climate change in the USA? Even here in the north UK it's 21 degrees and knitting thick woolly mittens could not be further from my mind. Some lacy fingerless mitts would be much more seasonal.

do you have a pattern to knitt with 2 needles

While these mittens would be quick and easy to make for someone who knows how to knit in the round, I think they should be categorized as more of an Interemediate or Early Intermediate level project. Knitting in the round is considered Interemdiate level skill per CYCA guidelines.

If this would work, I'd first wind my yarn into two separate balls, starting from each end. I think this would eliminate the twisting  that Sandi encountered while knitting her pair.

IS THERE A FORMULA TO DOWN SIZE THESE MITTS FOR WOMEN

I wouild make a pair for my husband and one for me.  Is there a substitute yarn as  I do a lot of charity knitting and I'm sure a 17-year-old would wear a men's size.  Thanks.  Carol

Winding the yarn into 2 center-pull balls eliminates both twisting AND rolling.  (you can do this without a winder if you wind it around a core like a broomstick ot paper-towel roll)

I agree with the climate comment!  It has been 95F here (30C)...who wants to knit  bulky wool mitts in August?  Wouldn't some lacy fingerless gloves in an interesting (maybe soy or bamboo) sock-weight yarn be more fun and weather-appropriate?

Maybe the AC is too cold in your office.

how do you find the answer for these questons

how do I find the answers to these questions?? I would like to make these in a ladies size

thanks

I am making this mittens.  And I have small hands.  And I am a tight knitter, and a new knitter.  Anyway, I actually modified them and then had to pull put because I made them too small!  So I had to ad a few more rows before the decrease.  This is my frst pair, I have made socks.  I found the pattern easy and I look forward to my mitts.

I also did not ad any stipes, just a solid color of mitts.
