Knitted mittens

 

 

ELENA L.'S WORK

Cast on 52 stitches and knit in the round for 40 rows in a 2x2 rib. In the last row of the rib, increase by 2 stitches.
Then knit according to the pattern
The thumb starts in the 10th row,
on the sides of the 2 middle stitches of the small cable we increase -
- in every second row 3 times
- in every third row 3 times
- in every second row 3-4 times.
When there are 18-20 stitches on the needle for the thumb, set it aside on stitch holders (the thumb stitches start and end with the increase stitches), cast on the missing 2 stitches above it and continue knitting according to the pattern.
Finish the thumb separately, casting on 2 stitches. Knit to the desired height, but minus 1 cm. Then knit two rows:
- in the first row knit alternately 1 knit and 2 together knit.

 

- in the second row knit 2 together knit until the end of the row.
Then pull the remaining stitches together with the yarn.
