Nathair Mitts are a soft and squishy pair of mitts with a centered cable going down the back of the hand. They feature a regular style thumb gusset, with mirrored increases on either side of the thumb, making a nice little area for your thumb to fit cozily.
The official first pattern in my Smart Thumb series. This is the basic thumb gusset, as you find in many patterns.
The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.

They do look soft and squishy! I’ll have to knit them when it gets cooler outside. Right now, the yarn would felt as I knit.

Any errata on these? I have one mitt done to row 14 but when I looked ahead to row 9 of the Right Hand portion of the pattern, my stitch count is off. Hate to rip back if I don’t have to.
