{"product_id":"vermir-mens-fingerless-mittens-with-a-hood-knitting-pattern","title":"Vermir — Men’s Fingerless Mittens with a Hood Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of men’s mittens from Ístex’s Lopi 24, knitted in Álafosslopi on double-pointed needles. The pattern calls them “like fingerless gloves with a hood”: the four fingers are knitted only half length, and a hood — picked up across the back of the hand and cast on at the palm — is knitted like an ordinary mitten top to pull over the fingers. There is a hole at the top of the thumb to put the thumb through. One colour, dark olive green (9987), which is no longer made by Ístex; our kit uses 9987 from our remaining stock. The pattern names no designer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe knitting pattern in English (PDF), emailed right after purchase — nothing is posted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne pair, men’s size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

The fingers are knitted one at a time, from the little finger on the right mitten and from the index finger on the left: 10, 12, 12 and 10 stitches, with 2 stitches cast on between fingers and picked up again for the next so there are no holes; each finger is 5 rounds, cast off loosely. For the hood, with the back of the mitten towards you and the rib downwards, 16 stitches are picked up across the back of the hand on 5½ mm, in the first round below the marker, and 16 are cast on for the palm on 4½ mm; the palm is knitted in knit 1, purl 1 rib and the back in stocking stitch for 3 rounds, then all on 5½ mm for 18 rounds “or desired length to shaping”, and the top is decreased at four points and drawn together. The thumb is picked up from the opening — 6 stitches below, 5 above and 1 at each side, 13 in all — and knitted for 9 rounds; then 3 stitches above the marker are cast off and cast on again in the next round to make the hole, 3 more rounds are knitted, and the top is decreased in two rounds with a plain round between and drawn together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePattern from Lopi No. 24 (no. 25), Ístex.
