Basic Twined Mittens by Lisa Ellis Designs

These delightfully warm mittens are Lisa Ellis Designs Basic Twined Mittens. They are knit using an old Swedish technique called tvaandsstickning or tvebandsstrikking in Norwegian, or "two end knitting." This method will keep these mittens more wind resistant and surprisingly soft.
