NOTES
This is one of my favorite quick and easy TNT patterns for fingerless mitts.
Modifications
US 6 (4.0 mm) - for the cuff, thumb & top ribbing; US 8 (5.0 mm) - for the hand
Two-at-a-time socks, magic loop
Andrea Mowry tubular cast on, one mitt cuff at a time for 4 rows; then put both mitt cuffs on one circular knitting needle (10 sts. each mitt, each needle) for two-at-a-time knitting
Stopped at 18 rows of 1x1 ribbing; 2.5” (worried about yarn chicken)
For the thumb: Pick up stitches with size US 6 (4.0mm); knit 2 rounds past the “no holes” pick up rows; 5 rows of 1x1 ribbing (start on row 3)
Italian bind off for thumb and cuff ribbing at the top of the mitt

Final Thoughts
I love this pattern. This time it took less than two days.
