I frogged the first pair of glow-in-the-dark mittens I started for a couple reasons: 1, my needles and yarn didn’t match up and it was so tight I was getting frustrated and 2, the pattern was too hard for my small brain. Then, fortuitously, I found my old mitten pattern that I used to use back in the day, which I am reproducing here. Please don’t follow it, it won’t make any sense to anyone else in the world, so just pretend this entry ends here.
Worsted weight yarn and dpns. Don’t ask what size, I don’t remember.
1. CO 30 sts.
2. K1, P1=12 rows
3. K1+1, P1, 1 row=45 sts
4. K 5 rows=45 sts
5. K5+1 around=51 sts (this means K5, yo, K5, yo, K5 for each needle, adding 6 stitches)
6. K 11 rows, thumbhole=7sts
7. K 20 rows
8. K4, K2tog around, 15 sts (?)
9. K 1 row
10. K3, K2tog around=12 sts
11. K 1 row
12. K1, K2tog around=8sts
13. K 4 row, cast off.
Thumb=16 stsx16rows.
The second I finish the first one I will post. I think that 7 stitches sounds narrow for a thumb, so that might change. And I might use other yarn and weave it in properly so it looks neater, but i might just cast off and cast on, we’ll see!
