Knit up a swatch to find your gauge, enter your desired mitten circumference and start knitting classic cuff‑up mittens! The mittens are worked in the round from the cuff upward, with a shaped thumb gusset and a decrease section at the fingertips.
The mitten circumference you provide determines all the other measurements, including gusset height, thumb size, and hand length. If you want a fully customized fit, try the advanced Mittens Calculator, which uses detailed hand measurements.
