PATTERN
See diagrams A.1 to A.5. Choose diagram for your size.
Diagram A.5 shows the position of the thumb on the right mitten.
MITTENS – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE
The piece is worked in the round, bottom up and stitches are increased for the thumb. The increased stitches are placed on a thread and the hand finished in the round. The thumb is worked in the round to finish.
LEFT MITTEN
Cast on 52-56 stitches with double pointed needles size 3 mm and colour off-white DROPS Lima. Work 1 round of rib (knit 2, purl 2). Change to colour almond and continue the rib until the piece measures 5 cm from cast-on edge.
Continue with stocking stitch and pattern A.1 – on the first round in the diagram decrease 4-4 stitches evenly spaced = 48-52 stitches.
When you have worked as far as the grey squares in the diagram, work A.2 across these 3 stitches. Continue working A.1 and A.2 (increasing stitches in A.2). After the last row in A.2, there are 11-13 stitches in A.2 – place these stitches on a thread and cast on 3 stitches behind them = 48-52 stitches on the round. Continue working A.1 across all stitches. When the diagram is finished, there are 8 stitches left. Cut the strand, pull it through the remaining stitches, tighten and fasten well.
THUMB
Place the 11-13 stitches from the thread on double pointed needles size 3 mm. Start the round by picking up 9 stitches at the back of the thumb (pick up 2 stitches on each side and 5 stitches in the 3 cast-on stitches) = 20-22 stitches. Work A.3 until the thumb measures 3½-4 cm (approx. 2 cm left to finished length). Finish according to diagram A.4. There are 4-4 stitches left. Cut the strand, pull it through the remaining stitches, tighten and fasten well. The thumb measures approx. 5½-6 cm from the picked-up stitches.
RIGHT MITTEN
Worked in the same way as the left, but with the thumb on the opposite side – see diagram A.5 which shows the position of the thumb.
