Christmas Mittens 2024 – Part 2
A very warm welcome back for Part 2 of our Christmas mittens 2024! We will set up for the thumb, work with a little more two-color stranded knitting, and shape the top of the mittens with decreases. Good luck as you continue!
LEFT-HAND MITTEN
Set-up for Thumb
Work following chart B – left-hand mitten (Row 1) on the first 49 sts of the round. Then, with a strand of smooth contrast color yarn, knit the next 11 sts. Place the 11 sts back onto left needle and then knit those sts following the charted pattern.
CONTINUATION – HAND
Work pattern following chart B – left-hand mitten, chart rows 2-42 (sts 1-60). Decrease for the top of the hand following the instructions on the chart. After the decreases are complete, 8 sts remain. Cut yarn and draw end through remaining 8 sts; tighten.
RIGHT-HAND MITTEN
Work as for left-hand mitten, but, follow chart B – right-hand mitten. Set up for the thumb on sts 1-11, instead of with the last 11 sts of round.
