Thenar thumb mittens

These mittens come in a range of sizes to suit most requirements AND feature a novel and rather lovely thumb construction. It is worked in the round completely top down, including the thumb, and the decreases create a thumb that appears from the centre of your palm (as your thumb does anatomically) for extra dexterity in these thick mittens. The colour I used is 850 (breeze).

Skills assumed: knit & purl decreasing/decreasing knitting in the round simple cables

Pattern contains Pattern is fully written out with the decorative panel also charted. Links to tutorials for recommended cast on, how to join the thumb etc.

Notions • Stitch markers • Tapestry needle • cable needle (alternatively the cables can we worked as left and right twist stitches if you are familiar with that technique and prefer it)
