Are there any free patterns anyone's come across to make adult mittens that are not knitted in the round or on dpns please?

if not, then how do I knit in the round please? I do have one of those needles with the thin plastic 'string' between them (don't laugh I think they're called circular pins LOL)

Have you looked on Ravelry? I queued a pattern the other day for some mittens. It's worth a look.

yeah, I've been looking on there for the last few days but I haven't happened upon anything suitable yet :hihi:
Thanks Wheezy

I've used this one a couple of times. It has instructions for knitting in the round on 4 needles first but if you keep going down the page it gives instructions for knitting on two needles then seaming up. Lots of sizes too.

excellent, thank you! :D

I'm also going to have a wee try on circulars, wish me luck lol.

These look good! Thanks!:D

Well, I haven't yet started the mittens, but I have been practicing with the circ needles, and made a titfer-tat and matching neckwarmer over the w/e both using freebies from Ravelry. It's a start eh? lol Tonight's the night :D

I've done two pair, will start a third tonight and now don't need the pattern :hihi::hihi::hihi: So easy :nod:

I have the Knitters Bible Knitting Accessories book by Claire Compton and there are definitely mittens that are not knit in the round in that book.
