Toasty by Yuliya Sullivan

These mittens are double-thick and extra warm. 

Wear the houndstooth pattern or the beaded rib pattern on the outside, depending on your mood and your wardrobe.  Or show off both sides by turning down the cuff. 

No gusset increases, very simple colorwork pattern, and worsted weight yarn make this a quick project.
