If you’ve been interested in knitting mittens but the thought of using double-pointed needles makes you cringe, the December Mittens pattern is for you. Knit on 2 straight needles, this design is great for beginners as well as those who prefer to skip double points. Using two strands of worsted-weight yarn held together, the project works up quickly, is perfect for using scrap yarn, and makes a wonderful handmade gift for the holidays.
