Instructions

Right Mitten

Cast on 44 (48) sts and knit around. Make 10 rows of rib. Make knit sts through front loops. Work with stockinette stitch on 2 knitting needles, starting from the 11^th row – inner side of lap, work with the pattern on the rest of the 2 knitting needles – outer side of lap.

After knitting 9 cm, start forming the hole for the thumb on the back of hand. For this, transfer 7 sts to the pin with needles, which you use for making stockinette stitch. Cast on 7 more sts and continue work. Make to 17 cm height from the beginning. Then, make 6 rows of rib and bind off the sts due to the ornament.

Thumb

Transfer the slipped sts from the pin to the knitting needle, lift 7 sts along the edge + 1 st from broaching from each side. Place all the sts (= 16 sts) to the 4 knitting needles. Work with stockinette stitch to 4.5-5 cm. Bind off the sts due to the ornament.
