Knitted mittens are cute and trendy pieces that add some charm to your look. The most important detail when knitting them is the finger. It is important not to make a mistake in the calculations and be very careful - then the hand in the new mitten will be comfortable and cozy.
It is necessary
- 4 spokes
- a thread
- 2 pins
- hook.
Instructions
Step 1
Tie a mitten from the beginning of the elastic to the base of your thumb. Leave the required number of loops open and remove them with a pin. To find out how many loops you need:
• calculate the knitting density - how many loops are in 1 centimeter of the fabric.
• Measure the required thickness of the future mitten finger. It will include the number of open loops multiplied by 2 and another 3-4 side loops.
Step 2
Tie the mitten to the end. Now is the time to knit your finger. For this:
• put the loops from the safety pin onto the working knitting needle.
• Cast on the other knitting needle the same number of chain stitches.
• Don't forget to tap on the side tabs.
• Distribute all loops on 3 knitting needles and knit mittens finger in a circle up to ½ of the nail.
Step 3
Start decreasing the loops:
• in each row, knit the last and penultimate stitches together.
• You should only have six stitches left on the needle.
Tighten them tightly with thread (you can fold it in half). Thread the ponytail with a crochet hook on the seamy side of the mitten finger.
Step 4
Try to tie a raglan finger. It is more difficult, but more convenient. Exactly measure the length of your hand from your wrist to the end of your thumb. Having knitted the elastic of the mittens and three more rows with the front satin stitch, immediately proceed to knitting the wedge of the mitten finger.
Step 5
Knit the wedge of the left toe on the fourth knitting needle and the wedge of the left toe on the third.
• Left mitten:
• at the end of 4 knitting needles, leave the last buttonhole untied. Make 1 yarn over, knit the left stitch. Another 1 yarn - you have added 2 stitches in total.
• Right mitten:
• Begin to throw on extra wedge stitches at the beginning of the third knitting needle. First the yarn over, then the front yarn and another yarn.
Step 6
Start a new circle. Support the last yarn with your finger - it may slip. Next, knit 3 circular rows without adding loops. Knit the wrapped loops behind the back walls.
Step 7
Knit the next circle of the left mitten. At the end of the fourth knitting needle, make 2 more yarns before and after the last three stitches. Your wedge should have increased by 4 stitches. Add stitches every 3 rounds. Leave an odd number of them unbound: (5, 7, 9, etc.).
Step 8
Tie the wedge in this way to the beginning of the thumb. Tie the row on the fourth (third) knitting needle to the wedge loops and remove them evenly for a couple of pins. Cast on half of the number of air loops over the wedge loops. It's good if you get an even number. Then knit this circle to the end.
Step 9
Start decreasing the stitches in the next circular row:
• On the fourth (third) knitting needle, knit 2 loops at once on both sides of the hole.
• Decrease in 1 round row until the needle has the original number of stitches.
Step 10
Tie your thumb in circular rows as you did in the first method. Now you have learned how to knit it in two ways, and you can start new needlework experiments.
