Mitten pattern: what is your favorite?

I’ve got my knit on, and feel the urge to start knitting for christmas/winter. Anyone willing to share their favorite mitten pattern?

Thanks,

Julie

I like using a basic mitten pattern–I’m sure there are some at www.knittingpatterncentral.com . Then I add cables or whatever embellishments I want.

I’ve also done the wrist band in a pattern to match a scarf–scrunchable, cable, etc., and then picked up and knit for the hand. It makes a nice matching set.

I made a few from the book Felted Knits…they are so warm when they are felted!!

Are there fingers in mittens, or not? I am a bit confused.

In American (and the UK too I believe), a mitten has a thumb and one big pouch for all the fingers. A glove has each finger knitted separately.

This is a mitten, and this is a glove.

I haven’t made them, but this pattern from Magknitslooks cool - it’s a glove with a slit so you can use your fingers.

Thank you!

I made the Magknits ones for my sister and she wondered why there was a hole in them!:rofling: I think it’s a great idea. I’m going to make myself a pair for this winter.
