Grey Islands by Laura Aylor are a simple pair of garter rib mitts with thumb gussets. Both mitts are the same – no right and left. Length is approximately 7”. 

Skills required: Long-tail cast-on, Increasing and Decreasing

A note about needles from Aylor: "I knit the mitts using 2 circulars (my personal favorite method for small circumferences) and used a second set to knit the thumbs while the hand was still on the needles.This gave me a nice thumb gusset with no holes and no mid-knit cast-on. I’ve also used this method using 3 dpns for the thumb."
