Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

To fit a hand circumference of 6 (7, 8 ) inches

Note: The length of the hand and the length of the thumb can be made to fit any length hand.

2 stitch markers

Ruler or tape measure

Scrap yarn

My daughter can’t keep her hands out of these mittens. Be sure to note the size and cuff options, there are three of each. The Outsiders are knit in the round starting at the cuff which is great because you can try on the mittens as you knit. This means you can adjust the length of the thumb and hand for a custom fit.

Outer is such a treat! If you haven’t tried it yet, I hope you grab a skein and make up a fast pair of mittens. You will love it.

I hope you enjoy this quick to knit pattern. The Outsider Mittens make a perfect gift project. You’ll have your knitted gifts completed in a snap with this pattern.

    Great pattern! How will I go about changing the pattern so there are no ‘thumbs’? I have a 15 month old and I think the no thumbs might be easier to wear?

      just knit the cuff, leave out the thumb gusset and work straight up to the decrease rounds. you can have your child try on the mitten before you decrease to see if the length is correct.
      have fun!
