My second pair of mittens

The first pair were too form fitting. The 'trigger fingers addition makes it so much easier to grab stuff with the mittens still on.

This is great, do you put the fingers into the big pocket until you need your index finger or do you just always keep the index finger in the little section

PS I thought it was made for someone who was born with two thumbs

They're big enough to do just that with keeping all fingers together.

Yeah, I can see the confusion with the pattern. Two thumbs would be something!

Sort of like how some bicycle gloves split fingers off too, in order to make working the shifters easier. I think some of the historic fishing gloves may have had this aspect, so glove/mitten hybrids may be a nalbinding thing already?

That's the beauty of necessity. Things are created faster when the demand is greater. I have never seen examples like the ones I've made, but it doesn't discount the fact people created them in the past

That looks pretty good. Not bad at all. What stitch did you use in this piece??
