Hi everyone. I need your help. Does anyone have a pattern for mittens made with Jiffy Thick & Quick (or a similar, bulky-type yarn)? I bought my first skeins of Jiffy T&Q last night and am working on the scarf/hat combo pattern on their free patterns page. The scarf's done and the hat's about halfway done. I thought a set of gloves would be a neat way to round out a potential gift set this winter, but I'm not finding any good patterns for mittens with bulky yarn. HELP!:)

Thanks!

I believe you should be able to find one on the Lionbrand site.

Here are two patterns from the LB site: one made with Wool-Ease Chunky (http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/cwec-mittens.html) and one made with Homespun (http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/chs-mittens.html).

I've made several pairs of the Homespun before and like the pattern. The other seems similar. Since the gauge of your yarn is so different, I'd probably try a bigger hook size and use a smaller pattern. So, if you're you're doing a woman's set, you'd up your hook size and make the child mittens.

Good luck!
