Mittens are a cinch until you remember you have a thumb. In this video I'll go over everything you need to know about knitting a thumb for your mittens or gloves. This is a little footnote to my main tutorial for how to knit mittens, which you'll find the link for below.

This video only covers the thumb for a mitten, but the basic techniques can be used for fingers, etc.

Shortcuts:
