Measurement around Palm Inches

LEFT MITTEN…Starting at cuff with No. 5 needles, cast on Stitches

Change to No. 3 needles and work in k 2, p 2 ribbing for Inches

Change to No. 5 needles. Next row—right side: Inc in first st, p across Stitches

place a marker on needle, k 8, place another marker on needle (these are cable panel markers); p Stitches

inc in last St. Following row: K across to marker, slip marker, p 8, slip marker, k remaining sts. Omitting in­creases and slipping markers, repeat last 2 rows Times

THUMB GORE…Work in pattern and shape Thumb Gore as follows: 1st row: P across Stitches

place a marker on needle, p and k in next st, k and p in next st—2 sts in­creased, place a marker on needle (these are thumb gore markers); p Stitches

slip marker, k 1, slip next st on a cable holder and hold in front of work, k next 2 sts, k the st from cable holder—a front cable made; slip next 2 sts on a cable holder and hold in back of work, k next st, k the 2 sts from cable holder—a back cable made; k 1, slip marker, p Stitches

NOTE: Always slip markers. 2nd row: (K to next marker, p to next marker) twice; k remaining sts. 3rd row: P to next marker, inc as before in next st, k to within one st of next marker, inc in next st, p to next marker, k 1, make a back cable over next 3 sts, then a front cable over following 3 sts, k 1, p remaining sts. 4th row: Repeat 2nd row. 5th row: P to marker, inc in next st, k to within one st of next marker, inc in next st, p to next marker, k 8, p remaining sts. 6th row: Repeat 2nd row. 7th row: P to marker, inc in next st, k to within one st of next marker, inc in next st, p to next marker, k 1, front cable over next 3 sts, back cable over next 3 sts, k 1, p remaining sts. Repeat last 6 rows for cable pattern. Work in pattern until there are be­tween Thumb Gore markers, ending with a wrong side row Stitches

Work 2 more rows in pattern without increasing.

THUMB...1st row: Removing thumb markers, work across Stitches

inc one st in next st, turn. 2nd row: P across Stitches

inc one st in next st, turn. Work in stockinette st (k 1 row, p 1 row) until thumb is Inches

or reaches ¼ inch from tip, ending with a p row.

Shape Tip—1st row: * K 2 tog, k 1. Re­peat from * across. Break off, leaving an 8-inch length of yarn. Thread a needle with this length and draw through remaining sts. Pull up tightly and fasten. Sew thumb seam.

HAND...With right side facing, at­tach yarn to sts on right hand needle, pick up 2 sts across base of thumb, then work in pattern across sts on left hand needle. There are on needle Stitches

Next row: Work in pattern, knitting the 2 picked-up sts. Continue in pat­tern until length from last row of rib­bing is Inches

or until Mitten, when tried on, reaches tip of little finger ending with a wrong side row.

To Shape Tip—1st row: Work across
Stitches

place a marker on needle, complete row. 2nd row: * K 2 tog, work to within 2 sts of last marker, k 2 tog, slip marker, k 2 tog, work to within last 2 sts, k 2 tog—4 sts decreased. 3rd row: Work in pattern slipping markers. Repeat last 2 rows until there remain, ending with a wrong side row
Stitches

Break off, leaving an 8-inch length of yarn and finish same as tip of thumb. Sew side seam. Press through damp cloth.

RIGHT MITTEN...Work same as Left Mitten until ribbing has been com­pleted. Change to No. 5 needles. Next row—right side: Inc in first st, p across Stitches

place a marker on needle, k 8, place another marker on needle—cable panel; p Stitches

inc in last st. Following row: K across to marker, slip marker, p 8, slip marker, k remaining sts. Omitting in­creases and slipping markers, repeat last 2 rows Times

Work in pattern and shape Thumb Gore as follows: 1st row: P across Stitches

slip marker, k 1, make a front cable, then a back cable, k 1, slip marker, p Stitches

place a marker on needle, inc as be­fore in next 2 sts, place a marker on needle—Thumb Gore; p remaining Stitches
