How it is knitted
Knitted in the round on double-pointed needles: 32 stitches in 1×1 rib on 3.5 mm for 6 cm, then stocking stitch on 4.5 mm with the thumb placed on waste yarn. The four fingers are knitted one at a time for just 5 rounds each and cast off loosely, so the fingertips stay free. The mitten top is picked up across the back of the hand, with 16 stitches cast on for the palm, and knitted up and decreased to a point, so it pulls over the fingers. The thumb is full length, with a small opening near the top for the thumb tip.
Pattern from Lopi No. 24 (no. 24), Ístex. No designer is named in the pattern.
