Windmill Mitten Knitting Kit

ABOUT

Pattern is emailed to the email entered at checkout upon purchase. You will receive the pattern for all sizes.

First stitches are cast on for the wrist. After your ribbing is worked, you’ll fold over the cuff and join, then start the colorwork by following the chart for your size. At the same time, increases are made for the thumb. The thumb stitches are then placed on a stitch holder/cord so you can work the remainder of the hand. The remainder of the hand is knit and eventually decreased to reach the tip of the fingers. The thumb stitches are picked back up and worked in the round until the desired length.
