Machine washable kits for the DK weight version of The World's Simplest Mittens from Tin Can Knits. Each kit has enough yarn for 1 adult-size pair of mittens, or multiple children's sets. The perfect quick knit for beginner knitters; these mittens are a plush, medium-weight project for the blustery season to come. All you need are 100-220 yards of DK weight yarn and US 5 and US 3 needles.

Choose from 100% Superwash Merino Wool, Cotton, Bamboo, Nylon, and Cashmere for your super simple Adult-Size mittens. Make mittens in a variety of yarn for yourself, or gift your family with a whole patch of simple mitts. Don't let the cold weather catch you and your fingers by surprise!
