**********************updated::way down below********************
This is my "go to" mitt pattern. I just made a couple of changes to a couple of different patterns and combined them. So not really my "own" pattern. But thought I would share what I do. And it is the pattern I use a lot. I usually use this pattern for the guys in my life that need a gift. This pair went to my husband. But believe me, I wear these. I have a black pair. A brown pair. A creme pair and a grey pair. I have made them for my sisters and made them for friends. I sometimes put a stripe of a contrasting color in the ribbing. But a super easy pattern that requires little brain power. I like that. Sometimes that is exactly the project I need.
Materials::Worsted weight yarn. (I have used so many different yarns for this pattern. This particular yarn was Araucania nature wool; color Ve05)::US 6 double pointed needles, set of 4 (or size to obtain gauge)::stitch markers
Weave in ends. I also tighten the area where you joined for top ribbing. (See? Up there.)

Materials::Worsted weight yarn. (I have used so many different yarns for this pattern. This particular yarn was Araucania nature wool; color Ve05)::US 6 double pointed needles, set of 4 (or size to obtain gauge)::stitch markersGauge::5.5 st = 1"
Cuff:: Cast on 40 stitches. Divide onto three needles, placing 12 stitches on needle 1; 14 stitches on needle 2; 14 stitches on needle 3. Join for working in the round. Round 1: *k2, p2; rep from * to end. Repeat rib for 1-2 inches. (That depends on you. And what you want. This pair measured 1 1/2 inches.)
Hand:: Change to knit stitch, and knit until desired length until thumb. For this particular pair, that was 4 inches. Piece measured 5 1/2 inches. (Shorter is also very nice. Really. Whatever you like here, also.)
Next row 1, (needle 1) K2, increase 1 stitch in next stitch, place marker, knit across the rest of the stitches on needle 1, knit across all of the stitches on needle 2, knit to last 3 stitches on needle 3, place marker, increase 1 stitch in next stitch, k2. (42 stitches)
Next row 2, knit one row.
Repeat these 2 rows 4x.
Then repeat row 1. You will have 52 stitches. And 9 stitches at beginning of needle 1, before marker, and 9 stitches at end of needle 3, after marker.
Next row, knit across all stitches on needle 1 (slipping marker as you come to it), knit across all stitches on needle 2, knit to marker on needle 3, remove marker, k1, bind off next 8 stitches.
Next row, bind off 8 stitches on needle 1, k1, remove marker, k1, *p2, k2; repeat from * to end. (36 stitches)
Next row, join, continuing in rib pattern for 1".
Bind off loosely in rib.
Make second mitt in same way.
Weave in ends. I also tighten the area where you joined for top ribbing. (See? Up there.)I sure hope you can understand this. Please let me know if you have any problems.

Do you know what my friend, Scout, did??
She put it into a pdf file so that you could print it!!
And I put it over there. In my sidebar, too. Enjoy.
