It is necessary
- - 5 spokes;
- - yarn;
- - pin;
- - threads for embroidery.
Instructions
Step 1
Knitting mittens of any quality is available even for a novice needlewoman. And in order for the knitted "clothes" for the hands to look very beautiful and neat, it is still desirable to have an experience that will allow even such a simple pattern as the front surface to be performed ideally. Another nuance is the use of yarn with an even structure. In this case, the product will be flawless.
Step 2
Be sure to tie the sample before you get started. Despite the fact that the proposed descriptions indicate the thickness of the thread and knitting needles, in fact, discrepancies may appear, especially since each needlewoman has its own developed knitting density. The principle of knitting mittens on 5 knitting needles resembles the manufacture of socks - the same cuffs and the main part with a decrease in the loops in the area of the fingertips. Only the thumb is tied instead of the heel.
Step 3
Cuffs. Cast on 40 loops on the needles, start knitting the first row with a 1x1 elastic band (1 front loop, 1 purl loop). Please note that in the same row you need to transfer all loops to 4 knitting needles, that is, 10 loops will turn out on each of them. After completing the first row, secure it in a circle and continue to knit the elastic according to the pattern. The cuff should not be too short, so make at least 20 rows of elastic.
Step 4
The base of the mitten. Start knitting the part of the mitten that fits around your hand. To do this, continue to work with the same number of loops, but only knit them with the front ones. Make at least 15 rows (it is better to try on), after which you will need a special pin, on which you will have to remove the loops to knit a finger. Knit 7 stitches with the front satin stitch, remove them to a pin and continue working in a circle until you reach the removed stitches. At this point, cast 7 new (air) loops on the knitting needle, then knit row by row until you reach the little finger.
Step 5
Decrease loops. Now start decreasing the number of loops. Each circle (despite circular knitting) has a first and last stitch. Knit them together - this will be the beginning of the decrease from one edge of the mitten (from the side of the thumb). Work the stitches to the second edge of the garment. Knit the last stitch of one knitting needle and the first stitch from the second knitting needle together. This will reduce the loops on the other side of the mitten. Repeat this decrease in each row on both sides, which will lead to the formation of a rounding in the area of the fingertips. Thus, the number of loops will come to naught, then knit the last loop and pull the thread to the wrong side.
Step 6
Knitting the thumb. Remove from the pin and transfer to the knitting needles 7 loops, from the edge (which remained from 7 air loops) also cast on 7 loops. Distribute all the resulting loops on the needles (3 is possible) and knit in a circle to the point of decrease, which can be accurately determined after trying on. Decrease the loops in the same way as for the fingertips. Knit a second mitten that is symmetrical to the first.
Step 7
Making mittens. After finishing use, wash the product in a suitable detergent, lay it out on a flat surface and dry it. The back of the mittens can be decorated with embroidery. If the mittens are for women, then the embroidery of small roses in the "Rococo" style looks very beautiful.
