LACY MITTENS WITH NEEDLES

The size of the mittens in this example: 7 To knit, you will need: 100 g of yarn “Favorit”, 80% - merino wool, 20% - acrylic (50 g./125 m.), color - white; circular needles No. 3.5; 2 additional needles or pins. The pattern “ribbing” - alternately 2 knit, 2 purl. Left mitten. Cast on 44 stitches, distribute them on 4 needles (11 stitches on each needle) and join the knitting in a circle. Knit the stitches on needles 1-2 according to the pattern, for the cuff knit the stitches on needles 3-4 in the “ribbing” pattern 22 stitches (stitches on needles 1-2) according to the pattern: Row 1: 4 purl, 1 yarn over, 4 knit, 2 together knit through the back loop, 2 purl, 2 together knit through the front loop, 4 knit, 1 yarn over, 4 purl; Rows 2 - 5: continue according to the pattern; Before the 6th row for convenience in knitting the main pattern, I transferred the stitches on needles 1-2 to one needle, thus the knitting continues on 3 needles: on the 1st - 22 stitches of the main pattern, on needles 2-3 on the palm side - 11 stitches each. Row 6: 4 purl, 5 knit, 1 knit stitch slipped in front of work onto a pin (or additional needle), 2 purl slipped and left behind work on another pin, 1 knit, knit the slipped 2 purl, knit the slipped stitch in front of work, 5 knit, 4 purl. Row 7: repeat from Row 1. After 6 cm finish knitting the cuff and knit the stitches on needles 2-3 knit. After 7 repeats of the main pattern, create a hole for the thumb. On the 3rd needle on the palm side: knit 3 knit, slip 7 stitches onto a pin (or onto a contrasting color thread), cast on 7 stitches on the needle and knit the remaining 1 stitch on the needle knit. Then continue knitting in circular rows following the pattern, until the necessary length of the mitten. After 12 repeats of the main pattern (or when the little finger is closed) start knitting the tip of the mitten. For this, redistribute the stitches on 4 needles, knit 3 rows knit. Then start decreasing stitches: at the beginning of the 1st needle - 1 knit stitch with a left slant, knit the next 2 together knit with a left slant, knit the remaining stitches until the end. On the 2nd needle (at the end) - knit all the stitches on the needle, when 3 stitches remain, knit 2 of them together knit, knit the last stitch knit. On the 3rd needle - knit as on the first. On the 4th needle - knit as on the second. Decrease stitches until there are 2 stitches left on all needles. Draw the last 8 stitches with the working yarn and secure it on the wrong side. The right mitten is knitted symmetrically, i.e., the hole for the thumb is formed on the 2nd needle on the palm side: 1 knit, slip 7 stitches onto a pin (or onto a contrasting color thread), cast on 7 stitches on the needle and knit the remaining 3 stitches on the needle knit. Thumb Transfer the slipped 7 stitches to a needle, cast on 7 stitches on the parallel row and 3 stitches on the side rows. Distribute 20 stitches on 4 needles (5 stitches on each needle), knit in circular rows. Not finishing the finger by 0.5 cm, start decreasing stitches. On each needle knit the first two stitches together knit, repeat in each row until there are 2 stitches left on each needle. Draw the last eight stitches (2 stitches on each needle) with the working yarn and secure it on the wrong side
