How it is knitted
Knitted in the round on 3.5 mm double-pointed needles. Cast on 22 (24, 28) stitches and work 12 (13, 14) rounds of K1, P1 rib, then increase 2 (4, 4) stitches in the first stocking-stitch round, to 24 (28, 32). After 7 (9, 11) rounds, 4 stitches are set aside for the thumb with waste yarn — 1 stitch from the start of the round on the right mitten, 5 stitches before the end of the 2nd needle on the left — and 13 (15, 17) rounds more are knitted. The top is decreased at both sides, every other round twice and then every round, down to 4 stitches. The thumb is 9 (10, 11) stitches picked up from the waste yarn, knitted 8 (10, 12) rounds and closed with *K1, K2 together* decreases.
Design: Baldrún Kolfinna Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 25 (no. 7), Ístex.
