thumbless mittens


the size - 0-3 months
the guage - 7 stitches and 10 rows = 1 inch
the materials
set of 4 size 2 double pointed needles
size D crochet hook
2 balls of worsted weight yarn in contrasting colors
(I used some leftover Patons Classic Merino Wool in Rich Red and Royal Purple)
the pattern
Mitten (make 2):
You can use any color pattern you like. For the purple/red mittens I alternated 3 rows of red and 6 rows or purple.
Cast on 30 stitches, distribute the stitches equally across 3 of the dpns
Round 1: Place stitch marker, join stitches, being careful not to twist. Begin a 1x1 rib (*k1, p1, repeat from * to marker).
Round 2-9: Continue 1x1 rib.
Round 10: k all stitches.
Round 11: *k1, m1, k8, repeat from * (33 sts)
Round 12-13: k
Round 14: *k1, m1, k9, repeat from * (36 sts)
Round 15-16: k
Round 17: *k1, m1, k10, repeat from * (39 sts)
Round 18-23: k
Round 24: *k1, m1, k11, repeat from * (42 sts)
Round 25-26: k
Round 27: *k5, k2tog, repeat from * (36 sts)
Round 28: k
Round 29: *k4, k2tog, repeat from * (30 sts)
Round 30: k

Round 35: *k1, k2tog, repeat from * (12 sts)
Round 36: k2tog across
Cut yarn leaving a long tail. Draw tail through remaining sts and tie off. Weave in ends
Make tie with color A and crochet hook:
Row 1: ch 37, sc in mitt in the middle of the 1x1 rib, ch 37 turn
Row 2: sc 37, sc in mitt next to other scin the 1x1 rib, sc 37. Cut yarn and draw through last stitch. Weave in ends

I love the pattern - I was searching for baby mittens with worsted weight yarn knitted in the round to match a hat, and this was perfect!

I just wondered if there is a mistake in the pattern though, I think it should be:

Round 11: k1, m1, k9, repeat from * (33 sts)

Round 14: k1, m1, k10, repeat from * (36 sts)

Round 17: k1, m1, k11, repeat from * (39 sts)

Round 24: k1, m1, k12, repeat from * (42 sts)

Otherwise the finished mittens are lovely.

Best regards, Helen
