Originally CO for the small size on 2.75mm needles but after knitting the cuff, realised they would be far too small. Ripped back and CO the medium on 2.5mm, which fit pretty perfectly.
I omitted the buttonhole on the thumb as I don’t want a big hole in my thumb, and I can use my phone fine with just my fingers. I will also be using the method of attaching the mitten shell from the Broad Street mittens, as I know I would lose the mitten shell if attached just with buttons.
I wanted my mitten shell to be attached to the glove so I made it more like the Broad Street shell.
CO 30 sts. I used tubular but long tail would also work.
K 11 rows
Divide onto two needles
Pick up 28 sts across knuckles of mitten. Be careful to make sure you pick up starting from the centre of the pinky or your shell will not hang straight.
With working yarn, K across picked up stitches, dividing onto two needles as you go.
Knit across the stitches you just ribbed, joining to work in the round.
Increase one stitch in the ladder before the picked up stitches. K28. Inc 1, K to end. Place marker for beginning of round (60 sts total)
K for 32 rounds. Try on. You don’t want to start the star decrease before you’ve knit just past your pinky.
