Work across to p rib with pin mark, then p 2 tog., turn (thus starting opening for thumb), work back and forth over these sts until opening reaches the inner base of thumb (this may be determined as before.) On next row work to thumb opening; cast on 1 st, and continue to work in rnds of ribbing (instead of rows) until mitten, when tried on, measures 2 inches from tip of middle finger. On next rnd, dec. 1 st in every other p rib. Work 3 rnds straight. On next rnd dec. 1 st in the p ribs, where decreases were not made previously. Work 3 rnds straight.
