The easiest and quickest gloves to make are mittens, especially knitted mittens. They have no fingers but are the same warm as the regular ones. You can make them long enough to cover your hands fully.
We often struggle with the most basic things in winter, like using your mobile phone, writing or simple scratching our nose. The design of the mitts enables you to do all the actions that you couldn’t do wearing regular gloves without taking them off and loosing warmth. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.

2. Basic Soft DK Mitts
These colors imply on wearing them during the fall – the design is bright but with mixture of different shades. Autumn has this advantage that not everything must fit perfectly – it’s rather a patchwork of many different thick yarns, than a monotonous one pattern. So enjoy mixing!
