Warm mittens with a braid

Size: palm width and length 17-19 cm.
Knitting density: 10 x 10 cm = 18.5 sts x 26 rows.

You will need: 140 g of yarn Oh My Wool Wool and Mania, 6 mm needles 60 cm, additional needle, scissors, needle.

Order of work:
Cast on 30 stitches, join knitting in the round. Knit ribbing 1*1 for 21 rows (I always knit all stitches in the first row through the front loop; from the second row, knit the knit stitches through the front loop and the purl stitches through the back).
After completing the ribbing, for convenience, we start counting the next row as the first.
In the first row, begin to make increases from the yarn overs on the back of the palm for the pattern:
1 knit, increase, 2 purl, increase, 1 knit, increase, 1 knit, increase, 1 knit, increase, 1 knit, increase, 1 knit, increase, 1 knit, increase, 2 purl, increase, 1 knit. A total of 9 stitches are added from the yarn overs. Now there are 18 stitches on the back of the palm.
Knit the palm with knit stitches = 21 stitches.
In the second row, continue knitting the cable pattern and begin to make increases for the thumb.
Back side:
2 knit, 2 purl, 12 knit, 2 purl, 2 knit..
Palm:
2 knit, yarn over, 19 knit..
In all even rows until separating the thumb, make yarn overs; in odd rows, knit them.
In the 4th row, make the first cable crossover on the back side:
2 knit, 2 purl, 12 knit, cross left (4 knit stitches slip to the additional needle in front of the work, knit 4 knit stitches from the main needle, knit the slipped 4 knit stitches from the additional needle, 4 knit), 2 purl, 2 knit.
Continue knitting according to the pattern, making yarn overs in even rows.
In the 9th row, make another crossover of stitches, but in the other direction, to the right:
12 knit, cross right (knit 4 knit stitches, slip 4 knit stitches to the additional needle and leave behind the work, knit 4 knit stitches from the main needle, knit the slipped stitches from the additional needle), 2 purl, 2 knit.
Continue knitting, remembering to make yarn overs on the palm in even rows and crossovers in the cable on the front side; they will continue to occur in rows 14, 19, 24, 29, 34, 39, 49.
Crossovers in the cable on the front side will continue to occur in rows 14, 19, 24, 29, 34, 39, 49.

In the 21st row, separate the thumb.
Palm:
2 knit, slip 9 stitches to the additional yarn.
Knit according to the pattern up to the 46th row.
In the 46th row, begin to make decreases:
Back side: 2 knit together with a right-leaning decrease, 2 purl, 12 knit, 2 purl, 2 knit together with a left-leaning decrease.
Palm: 1 knit, 2 knit together with a right-leaning decrease, 14 knit, 2 knit together with a left-leaning decrease, 1 knit..
Make decreases in every row, remembering to make the cable crossover in the 49th row.
In the 53rd row, knit as follows:
Back side: 2 knit together with a right-leaning decrease, 2 knit together with a right-leaning decrease, 2 knit together with a left-leaning decrease.
Palm: 2 knit together with a right-leaning decrease, 2 knit together with a right-leaning decrease, 2 knit together with a left-leaning decrease.
Cut the yarn, gather the piece.
Transfer 9 stitches of the thumb from the additional yarn to the needle, raise 4 more stitches. Knit 14 rows (or until your thumb is covered).
Make decreases: 2 knit together with a left-leaning decrease, 2 knit, 2 knit together with a right-leaning decrease, 2 knit together with a left-leaning decrease, 3 knit, 2 knit together with a right-leaning decrease.
Cut the yarn, gather the thumb.
Hide the ends.
