Mankell Mitts will be an easy project for anyone experienced in knitting fingerless mitts; but there are several uncommon design aspects which may provide an interesting addition to your winter accessories. As long as a knitter is prepared to make use of the many tutorials available online, this would make a perfect introduction for someone that has never tried making mitts. As for construction, Mankell Mitts begin with a German Twisted Cast-on, to create a stretchy cuff that will fit over the hand. Several initial rounds of Waffle Stitch establish the cuff; extra repeats of this section may be added if a longer mitt is desired. Stockinette Stitch covers the palm area. This flatter texture suits the potential demands of the hand, creating less bulk, and an ease of flexibility. Thumb gusset increases begin above the base of the hand, and are later placed onto waste yarn. New stitches are then supplemented with a Backwards-loop Cast-on. Subsequent decreases allow the mitt to follow the form of the hand and taper slightly during the final rounds. An Icelandic Bind-off provides a suitably stretchy finish which also matches the cast-on edge!
