Biking will save the world!
The Commuter Mitts are a big huge thank-you to all the commuters who are out there biking their way to work or school everyday. Sometimes it is harder/colder/wetter to commute but you do it anyways, here is a pair of mitts to keep your hands a little warmer for those rides that are just a bit uncomfortable. They'll keep you stylish and warm while you dodge traffic, leap across intersections, and stop criminals in their tracks. Thanks for making the world a safer place, you are a superhero!

PATTERN NOTES
The left and right mitts have identical construction, so make 2. The cuff is worked in a 1x1 rib, and the thumb gusset increases are done with M1L and M1R increases which are symmetrical. If you prefer another increase technique, feel free to substitute it without guilt. Standard abbreviations for Home Sweet Home patterns can be found at http://yerhomesweethome.blogspot.com/p/knitting.html
