First mitt done knitting! I’ll get the ends woven in later.

What happened to two-at-a-time? I’m too new at it to do four small diameters at a time, so one is on scrap yarn, while the other was still two small diameters - thumb and hand - on the circular.

I added two stitches - simple cast-on - to the hand, picked up two when doing the thumb, and decreased them on the next round. So, 40 sts for the hand and 16 for the thumb.

I got more length than I had expected!!

I like this pattern, because there’s no left or right. Two identical mitts that fit whichever hand they’re on!

The point at which the increases stop just happens to fall on the second thumb joint.
I think I’ll be making more of these.

Ends woven in!
Two bits of yarn leftover - one 4’ long, the other almost 2’.
