My knitting skills have improved since my two right-handed mitten mistake. I have moved on to Fair-Isle techniques, and I absolutely love this pattern from Elliphantom knits. I've made them in two color sets. The stranding technique makes them quite warm, I think they will help block out the wind.
Cheat sheet for the pattern:
This pattern is well-written and very clear. In case it helps, it took me a second to see that the pattern is very simple vertically - it’s always two rows of one color, then two rows of the other color. Using this, you can knit without having to keep consulting the chart!
For DK yarn, I used size 2 needles for the cuff, 4 for the body. This was slightly small for an adult woman's mitten (I had to add 8 rows to the top). I would try 3 for the cuff, 5 for the body in the future.
Want some more ideas for this pattern? I made a second pair here, with additional notes!
Love,
