A Twist of Yarn Easy Magic Loop Mitten Pattern
By A Twist of Yarn
Mittens are one of my favorite quick knits for winter and there is no end to their possibilities. Here is an easy, basic pattern using the magic loop technique. I also love to put a mohair with my mittens as it adds an extra bit of warmth and keeps out the wind!

- T2
- Twist 2 stitches: With the right needle, go into the back leg of the 2nd stitch on your left needle and knit it (keeping it on your needle) then swing your needle to the front and knit into the front of your 1st stitch and take off. These 2 stitches will now be twisted, like a cable without cabling!
- SSK
- Slip, slip, knit
- K2tog

FAQ
What is the magic loop technique?
The magic loop technique is a method of knitting in the round on a single long circular needle, which allows for knitting small circumferences.
Can I use a different type of yarn?
Yes, any worsted weight yarn can be used, and mohair is optional for added warmth.
What if I don't have a 40” circular needle?
A 40” circular needle is recommended for the magic loop technique, but you may use a different length if necessary, keeping in mind it may affect the ease of knitting.
