Knitted Mittens

- Yarn "mink fluff" - 50 g, 350 m, less than a skein (we knit in two main strands and one additional);
- sock needles 3.5 mm.

Gauge - 10 cm = 20 stitches and 30 rows.
The mittens are knitted to a hand circumference of 21 cm.

Cast on on size 3.5 needles - 44 stitches (11 stitches on each needle) + 1 stitch for joining in the round. Start counting from the beginning of the round.

Rows 1-15 - 1x1 rib (knit and purl through the front wall);
Row 16 - stockinette stitch;

Right mitten
Row 17 - from this row we begin to incorporate a pattern consisting of 17 stitches - the first 10 stitches knit from the start of the first needle - straight yarn over (right/left) - knit on needles 1 and 2, place the pattern in the middle on needles 3 and 4, the remaining stitches knit;
Row 18 - yarn over from the previous row knitted as twisted knit stitch;
Rows 19-36 - repeat rows 17 and 18.

Left mitten
Similar to the right, but!
Row 17 - decrease 10 stitches before the end of the second needle, make a backward yarn over, the pattern sits on needles 3 and 4;
Row 18 - yarn over knitted as twisted knit stitch.

Rows 37-66 - after row 36, 10 stitches from the start of the first needle for the right mitten and 10 stitches from the end of the second needle for the left mitten are moved to an extra thread, join the knitting and knit in the round.

Rows 67-75 - decreases - close the mitten by knitting 2 stitches together on each needle:
1st needle - 1 knit - 2 stitches together with a left-leaning decrease - stitches to end of the needle;
2nd needle - knit to the last 3 stitches - 2 stitches together with a right-leaning decrease, 1 knit;
3rd needle - 1 knit - 2 stitches together with a left-leaning decrease - stitches to end of the needle;
4th needle - knit to the last 3 stitches - 2 stitches together with a right-leaning decrease - 1 knit.
Remaining 8 stitches to be drawn up.

Big thumb
Transfer 10 stitches onto needles and pick up another 5 stitches from the edges, total 15 stitches. Knit in stockinette for 15 rows.
Row 16 - k2tog - 1 knit, repeat to end of row;
Row 17 - repeat 16;
Row 18 - k2tog, repeat to end of row.
