A 9434 Crimson Red — 2

Size
One size, given in the pattern as a women’s size. No gauge or finished measurements are given; the hand is 32 stitches around.

Gauge
The pattern gives no gauge. The cuff is knitted on 3.5 mm and the hand on 4.5 mm needles.

Needles used in the pattern (included when you choose the kit with needles)
3.5 mm (US 4) and 4.5 mm (US 7) double-pointed needles

Not included
A little waste yarn for the thumb, stitch holders (or spare yarn) and markers.

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.

Good to know

GSM — your questions, answered

What size are they?

One size, given as a women’s size. The pattern gives no gauge or measurements; the hand is 32 stitches around on 4.5 mm needles.

How does the mitten top work?

It is picked up across the back of the hand, just below the fingers, and knitted up to a point. Pull it over the half-length fingers like a mitten, or fold it back to free them.

The top decreases don’t come out at 7 stitches — what do I do?

Decreasing 4 stitches a round from 32 can’t leave 7. Decrease until 8 stitches are left, then knit 2 together all round and draw the yarn through the last 4.

Who designed them?

The pattern names no designer — it is from Ístex’s Lopi 24.

What does the kit with needles include?

3.5 mm (US 4) and 4.5 mm (US 7) double-pointed needles — ADDI, as named in the pattern.
