This is my "go to" mitt pattern.  This pattern is totally unisex so feel free to make them for your man and let him know you are going to borrow them!  I have made them for my sisters and made them for friends. I sometimes put a stripe of a contrasting color in the ribbing.  But a super easy pattern that requires little brain power.  I like that.  Sometimes that is exactly the project I need.

Pattern can be found here.
