Noro Yarns is known for the rich tapestry of colors inspired by nature. Sometimes beauty is not in intricate stitches, but in their simplicity. This simple stockinette mitten uses beginner friendly techniques and doesn’t differentiate between left or right. The thumb hole is easily created using a piece of scrap yarn (called a peasant thumb) and requires minimal picking up of stitches (just 1 on each side of the thumb!).
