At the wrist, half the round is ribbed and half knitted for 5 rounds — needles 3 and 4 are ribbed on the right mitten, needles 1 and 2 on the left. The hand is increased twice, to 36 stitches, and 6 stitches are knitted with scrap yarn for the thumb (on needle 3 for the right mitten, needle 2 for the left). The hand goes on for 14 rounds, is decreased to 32 and knitted 13 rounds, or to the length you want, before the top is shaped with paired decreases. The thumb is picked up around the scrap yarn, 13 stitches, and knitted 15 rounds before its top. Last, the buttons are sewn on, four in a line on each mitten, as in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 28 (no. 17), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601064493109,"sku":"PAT-EN-HAPP","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi28-happ-1_8071490d-c083-48a3-a9d3-fa63e87d85e7.jpg?v=1790992422","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/happ-lettlopi-mittens-with-buttons-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
