PATTERN
See diagrams A.1, A.2 and A.3. The diagrams show all rows in the pattern from the right side.
DECREASE TIP
Start 3 stitches before the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker thread sits between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased).
MITTENS – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE
The mittens are worked in the round with double pointed needles.
LEFT MITTEN
Cast on 45-50 stitches with double pointed needles size 3 mm and 1 strand Alpaca and 1 strand Kid-Silk. Work diagram A.1 in the round. When the diagram has been completed the piece measures approx. 8 cm; the purled section at the beginning will roll inwards so the edge will measure approx. 6 cm when worn.
Work 2 rounds of stocking stitch and decrease 5-6 stitches evenly on the first round = 40-44 stitches. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE!
Insert a marker thread in the 2nd-3rd stitch on the round (allow it to follow your work onwards; it will be used when working the diagram) and insert a marker in the first stitch on the round (= thumb-marker).
READ THE WHOLE OF THE NEXT SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING!
Continue with stocking stitch and increase for the thumb-gusset on each side of the stitch with the thumb-marker as shown in diagram A.2. Continue to increase a total of 6-7 times = 13-15 stitches for the thumb – AT THE SAME TIME when the piece measures 4-4 cm, work according to diagram A.3 on top of the hand. Start diagram A.3 in the stitch with the marker thread and work stocking stitch over the other stitches (stitches are increased in the diagram because the cable tightens the piece; these stitches are decreased again at the end of the diagram).
When the piece measures 6-7 cm from the thumb-marker place the 13-15 thumb-stitches on a thread and cast on 1 new stitch on the needle.
Continue with stocking stitch and diagram A.3 as before. When diagram A.3 is finished continue with stocking stitch and there are 40-44 stitches on the round.
When the mitten measures 14-15 cm (measured from the edge; there is approx. 4 cm left to finished length – try the mitten on and work to desired length). Insert 1 marker in each side of piece so that pattern A.3 is placed in the middle between the markers and with 20-22 stitches between the markers.
On the next round decrease 1 stitch on each side of both marker threads – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 2nd round a total of 4-3 times and then every round a total of 5-7 times = 4-4 stitches left on the needles.
Cut and pull both strands through the remaining stitches. Tighten and fasten well on the inside of the mitten.
The mitten measures approx. 18-19 cm (and approx. 24-25 cm with the edge).
THUMB
Place the 13-15 thumb-stitches from the thread back on double pointed needles size 3 mm and knit up 2 stitches at the back of the thumb = 15-17 stitches. Work stocking stitch in the round until the thumb measures 5½-6½ cm on the inside (try the mitten on and work to desired length – there is ½ cm left to finished length). Knit 2 rounds where all stitches are knitted together 2 and 2 on both rounds = 4-5 stitches left. Cut and pull both strands through the remaining stitches. Tighten and fasten well.
RIGHT MITTEN
Cast on and work as for the left mitten, but the marker thread for diagram A.3 and the thumb-marker are inserted as follows:
Insert a marker thread in the 22nd-25th stitch on the round (allow it to follow your work onwards; it will be used when working the diagram) and insert a marker in the last stitch on the round (= thumb-marker).
