OLE Mittens

Classic mittens - are known to keep hands warmest and are the perfect companions for cold days. The OLE Mittens are worked from the bottom up, in half Fisherman's Rib with yarn overs. To ensure that the Half Fisherman's Rib pattern does not have too many holes, a relatively thin needle size of 3.0 mm (US 2.5/UK 11) is used. After the folded cuff, a thumb gusset is worked in, using left or right leaning increases, which ensures a good fit and sufficient freedom of movement. The top of the mittens is formed using left and right leaning double decreases.
