Knitting Knit - mittens (1/3 or 1/4)

You need a sock or baby yarn, of course and 2 sets needles, 2 sizes apart (0-2;1-3; 2-4)

The finer the needles and yarn, the smaller the mittens. Derry (Dollmore Dry) has the small hands and his mittens were baby yarn but I can't remember the needle sizes! Sorry!

With large needle CO 22 sts

With small needles work 10 rows 1-1 rib

With large needles work 4 rows stockingette stitch, keeping end stitches K on all rows.
Now start thumb gusset:

R5: K9, K in front and back (Kfb) of next stitch, K1, Kfb, K10
R6: K1, P across, K last stitch
R 7: K9, Kfb, K3, Kfb, K10
R8: K1, P across, K last stitch
R 9: K9, Kfb, K5, Kfb, K10
R10: K1, P across, K last stitch
R 11: K9, Kfb, K7, Kfb, K10
R12: K1, P across, K last stitch
R13: K 19, turn
R14a: P 8, turn
R15a through 18a: repeat R13 and 14 twice, using small needle for R18. Break yarn and pull through the 8 stitches on small needle.
Attach yarn to finish R13, turn
R14: K1, P across, K last stitch
Work stockingette stitch for 10 rows or however long you need

Decrease rows:
1] K1, K2tog, K8, sl1, k1, psso, K2tog, K8, sl 1, K1, psso, K1
Even rows: K1, P across, K last stitch
3] K1, K2tog, K6, sl1, k1, psso, K2tog, K6, sl 1, K1, psso, K1
K1, K2tog, K4, sl1, k1, psso, K2tog, K4, sl 1, K1, psso, K1
K1, P across, K last stitch.
Weave stitches together and sew side seam and thumb seam.

I've used the 'psso' terminology for the decreases. i usually mark them 'dec1L' or 'dec1R' when writing patterns, but the terminology has to be reversed for righties!
