A warm welcome back to part 2 of our Christmas mittens! Today we will knit the hand and two-color stranded knitting. Good luck with the pattern knitting.
Here you can find part 1 and the Materials list!
RIGHT-HAND MITTEN
HAND
Change to larger size dpn and continue knitting around in stockinette with colorwork pattern:
Work following Chart A – Right, rows 1-9 (sts 1-18 are repeated 2 times per round).
Set-up for Thumb
Row 10, Chart A – Right: Continue in pattern for the first 18 sts.
Knit the next 8 sts with short strand of smooth, contrast color waste yarn. Slide the 8 sts back to left needle and knit with color 2 (so, not following charted pattern).
Finish by knitting the remaining 10 sts in charted pattern.
Continue following Chart A – Right, rows 11-18, and then repeat rows 1-8.
Decrease Rounds to Shape Mitten Top
Work in pattern following Chart B – Right and decrease as shown on the chart, using the following techniques:
Needle 1: Sl 1, k1, pass slipped st over. Work in pattern until 3 sts remain on needle 2: k2tog, k1.
Needle 3: Sl 1, k1, pass slipped st over. Work in pattern until 3 sts remain on needle 4: k2tog, k1.
