Hook: F/3.75mm
Finished Size of Sample: 9” long cuff to tip x 3.75” wide
Mitten
Construction: The
pattern starts at the fingertips and works the repeat until you reach the
desired “finger-to-thumb” length. (You will want to take it right up to the
valley of your thumb.) You will leave an opening for the thumb as you work the
pattern- you will not need to leave any stitches on holders. The upper part of
the mitten can be worked to your desired length by just continuing the repeat
(after the thumb opening) until you reach where you want your wristband to be.
The wristband works exactly like the collar on the cowl, and the thumb gets
added on at the end. You can also customize the thumb length by continuing in
pattern until you get two rows away from the tip, then do your decrease rows.
