This is a very beginner friendly pattern and has instructions to knit the mitts either flat or the in the round. You can learn how to knit the mitt flat and once you feel ready to branch out, you already have a pattern to learn how to knit in the round!

The pattern is written using two colors as shown in the photos on. However, you can always knit in stripes, or a solid color if you prefer.

Two skeins (one of each color) of the recommended yarn will get you four sets of reverse-colored mitts.
