Product Details

These mittens come in a range of sizes to suit most requirements AND feature a novel and rather lovely thumb construction variation which gives an adorable “jointed” shape that mimics the shape of your thumb. Add to that extra long cuffs with wrist shaping and you have a great mitten that keeps you warm and dry all winter long.

About the thumb & construction This mitten is knit bottom up in the round. The thumb is a variation on a standard thumb that creates a “goreless” effect for minimal interruption to the pattern (i.e. the increases are not visible on the back of hand and,in fact, travel up the thumb itself). The effect is to create a slightly biased fabric on the thumb that also mimics the jointed shape of the thumb for an anatomically correct shape.

Notes
The smaller needle is to shape the cuff/wrist. This is optional but recommended. You can use DPNs if you prefer.
