The mittens are knitted using the Magic Loop method.

Sizes of mittens:

Palm circumference:
1. 15–17 cm
2. 17–19 cm
3. 19–21 cm

Materials:

Needles 2.5 mm (60–80 cm) for knitting with the Magic Loop method, or double-point needles.
You can use another needle size suitable for the given gauge.
Markers, needle, row counter, extra needle, scrap yarn (for finger loops).

Gauge (blocked, stockinette, needles 2.5 mm):

10 cm = 27 stitches
10 cm = 37 rows

Keep in mind that gauge varies by yarn!
Try different needle sizes to achieve the indicated gauge.
It is recommended to swatch 15×15 cm.
Before starting knitting, it is strongly recommended to knit a swatch.
When buying yarn, consider extra yarn for the swatch.

- 1. Before starting, take a look at the yarn overview.
  2. Stockinette stitches look more even when you knit the purl stitches in the traditional way.
  3. Mittens from merino wool will be denser than those from cashmere.
  4. Be sure to try the garment on at every stage.
  5. Do not choose mittens too tightly: if hand circumference is 17 cm, knit size 17–19 cm.
  6. If you want a warmer option, you can add mink down, angora, mohair on silk, or alpaca on silk to the merino. In that case, it is better to use merino with a yardage of 160/25.
  7. Care instructions are given in the Blocking section.
  8. Ribbing: pattern 1×1 — 1 knit, 1 purl.

Mittens — size 15–17 cm

Before starting to knit, cast on 41 stitches (1 for joining in the round).
Knit using the Magic Loop method 40 stitches in the 1×1 rib to a height of 5 cm.

Divide the knitting:

Back side — 26 stitches,
palm — 14 stitches.

Notations:
knit stitch — front stitch,
purl stitch — purl stitch,
TS — back side,
L — palm,
(…)*3 — repeat 3 times,
LP — increase from a knit stitch with a left-leaning slant,
PP — increase from a knit stitch with a right-leaning slant,
PI — increase from purl stitch.

Left mitten

Increases are made from a long stitch in every row, all on the palm, not binding off 3 stitches to the end of the row (purl, knit, purl).

1 row:
TS: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 13 = 26 stitches.
L: (knit, purl) × 5, knit, PI, purl, knit, purl → 15 stitches.

2 row:
TS: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 13 = 26 stitches.
L: (knit, purl) × 6, PP, purl, knit, purl → 16 stitches.

3 row:
TS: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 13 = 26 stitches.
L: (knit, purl) × 6, knit, PI, purl, knit, purl → 17 stitches.

4 row:
TS: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 13 = 26 stitches.
L: (knit, purl) × 7, PP, purl, knit, purl → 18 stitches.

Continue increases until the 26th row inclusive, until there are 40 stitches on the palm.
Total: 66 stitches on the mitten.
Then knit 1 even row with no increases.

After the even row, detach the stitches for the finger.

Finger separation:
Back side: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 13 = 26 stitches.
Palm: (knit, purl) × 11, knit, 14 stitches placed on a separate thread, purl, knit, purl.
After this, on the palm and back side remain 26 stitches.

Continue knitting until there remains 2–2.5 cm to the end of the palm. Be sure to try on the mitten.

For palm length:
- 15 cm — 42 rows
- 17 cm — 46 rows
- 19 cm — 50 rows
Crown shaping (decreases)

Now you need to place markers on the stitches along which the decreases will be made.
A total of 14 stitches — 7 on each side.

Find the outermost knit stitch on the palm (to the left of the finger) — this is the central stitch.
From it count:
to the left — purl, knit, purl (place a marker),
to the right — purl, knit, purl (place a marker).
You should have 7 stitches (purl, knit, purl, knit, purl, knit, purl), along which the decreases are made.
Next count 19 stitches and also mark 7 stitches.

Total:
19 stitches on the palm and back side,
7 stitches on each side (where the decreases will be).

1 row:
TS: knit, purl, UИ, (knit, purl)×7, knit, UИ, purl, knit, purl, knit, purl.

Right mitten

Increases are also made from a long stitch in every row, but at the beginning of the palm, after the first two stitches (knit, purl).

1 row:
TS: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 13 = 26 stitches.
L: knit, purl, PI, (1 knit, 1 purl) × 6 → 15 stitches.

Main mitten

Total stitches: 70

increase in the number of stitches compared with the smaller size,
slightly longer wedge and crown,
the same 18 stitches and 23 rows for the finger.

- MITTENS — size 19–21 cm
  
  Before starting, cast on 45 stitches (1 for joining in the round).
  Using the Magic Loop method, 44 stitches in a pattern of 1×1 rib to a height of 5 cm.
  
  Divide the knitting:
  - Back — 30 stitches,
  - Palm — 14 stitches.
  Left mitten
  
  Increases are made from a wrap ( протяжки ) in every row, on the palm, leaving 3 stitches to the end (purl, knit, purl).
  
  Row 1:
  Back: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 15 = 30 stitches.
  Palm: (knit, purl) × 5, knit, PI, purl, knit, purl → 15 stitches.
  
  Row 2:
  Back: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 15 = 30 stitches.
  Palm: (knit, purl) × 6, PP, purl, knit, purl → 16 stitches.
  
  Row 3:
  Back: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 15 = 30 stitches.
  Palm: (knit, purl) × 6, knit, PI, purl, knit, purl → 17 stitches.
  
  Row 4:
  Back: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 15 = 30 stitches.
  Palm: (knit, purl) × 7, PP, purl, knit, purl → 18 stitches.
  
  Continue increases until row 30 inclusive, until there are 44 stitches on the palm (total 74 stitches).

  Thumb separation
  
  Back: (1 knit, 1 purl) × 15 = 30 stitches.
  Palm: (knit, purl) × 13, knit, 14 stitches slipped onto an extra thread, purl, knit, purl.
  After this, 30 stitches on the palm and back.
  
  Continue knitting until 2–2.5 cm remain to the end of the palm, while trying on the mitten.
  
  For palm length:
  - 19 cm — 50 rows
  - 21 cm — 54 rows
  Crown (decreases)
  
  Place markers on the side stitches — 7 on each side (total 14).
  Find the outermost knit stitch on the palm (to the left of the finger) — the center.
  From it count to the left and right by three stitches (purl, knit, purl) and place markers.
  This makes 7 stitches (purl, knit, purl, knit, purl, knit, purl) along which decreases will be made.
  Then count 23 stitches and also mark 7 stitches.

  Top of the Right mitten
  
  Marking and decreases are performed similarly to the left mitten, but the central knit stitch is located to the right of the finger.
  
  The sequence of decreases completely matches the description of the left mitten (10 rows alternating UI / ULP, etc.).
  After finishing all decreases, 20 stitches remain on the needles — perform final decreases:
  3 stitches together knitwise (×3), 1 purl, 3 stitches together knitwise (×3), 1 purl.

Main mitten
- Total stitches: 76
- Back side (BS): 30 stitches
- Palm (P): 16 stitches
Lower part
- After the ribbing — 46 stitches (30 BS + 16 P).
- Next increases for the thumb gusset are made over 30 rows.
Thumb
- 16 stitches are separated for the thumb.
- After this, the mitten is knitted straight for another 46 rows until the start of the crown.
- Length of the mitten: 17 cm.
Crown
- Formed over 10 rounds of decreases.
👍 Finger
- Slipped 16 stitches with the extra yarn and picked up 4 stitches from the edges → total 20 stitches.
- Knit in the round for 23 rounds.
- Finger length: 7 cm.
Thus, the pattern shows:
- an increase in the total number of stitches and rounds compared with the previous sizes,
- a larger gusset and a wider finger,
- the same finger height — 23 rounds (7 cm).
- VTO (wet-heat treatment)
  1. For merino, alpaca, mink fur:
    - Soak the mittens in warm water with a mild wool detergent for 15–20 minutes;
    - Gently squeeze out, do not wring;
    - Lay flat on a towel, shape them;
    - Dry horizontally at room temperature, away from heating devices.
  2. For cashmere:
    - Use water not higher than 30 °C;
    - Add a little conditioner for wool or cashmere;
    - After rinsing, gently wring out, do not twist;
    - Lay on a towel, shape evenly;
    - Let dry naturally.
  3. After drying, the mittens can be lightly steamed through a damp cloth — only if there is no synthetic material in the composition.
  4. Store the mittens in a dry place, in a cotton bag, with a moth-repellent scented sachet.
