Hello, first of all, thank you so much. This is the tutorial that made it easy for my to understand how to knit my first pair of mittens! I also have a question. When i was making my left mitten, i did the increase of stitches as you showed at the end of the video. Yet oddly enough, i ended up with two identical mittens because the increases ended up in the same direction as the right hand mitten, although i followed your directions clearly on twisting the increased stitches. Maybe you understans what i might have done wrong and how to fix it?
@@tommyssheep Before putting thumb stitches on scrap yarn, a round of stockinette stitches is done. if I knit to the end of the round and then take stitches from the right needle and stitches from the left needle, my working yarn is in the middle of those stitches. So do you stop Knitting before you get to the thumb stitches?
@@joannwinn8545 this was one of my concerns too! after you've tied those stitches the yarn is in the middle. to continue working she folds the knitted part in between the needles (the tied off part) and just brings the working yarn next to the right needle. it's hard to see, you probably have to look very closely.
@@lillicorvetta1058 Thanks for answering my question, as the author of this page did not. I must be dense because I still don’t understand. I’ve looked at the video many times to figure this out. I guess I’ll try again. It was very kind of you to try and help me understand.
Can I just knit longer between the ribbing part and before the carpal bone hand/gusset part? I like my ribbing just a little more higher up before my wrists. Or do I just knit the ribbing longer? That is really nice looking yarn. Do they come in different colors as well? Thank you so much for your tutorial!
Hi, I used double yarn just because it is more comfortable for me and mittens are warmer like this. You can use just one strand of the yarn but the size of mittens will be different. If you want to use double yarn take to ends of yarn from one ball but more comfortable is working with two balls of yarn.

German cast on is a good one too. I would rather use circulars than double pointed needles any day. Thank you for this tutorial!
Yea german cast on is a good one too, I agree ;). I prefer circulars needle and working in a round,..:)
I am glad you like my tutorial :)

So she didn’t answer yet😮
How do you continue after taking 8 stitches off? its not clear in the video, and my thumb hole does not come together as yours does. please explain
I will make one more video where it will be explained better..:)
When you put the thumb stitches on scrap yarn you’re working Yarn is in the middle. How do you continue knitting in the round?
I don´t know exactly what you mean..

@@joannwinn8545 did it end up working with tucking the working yard behind your back needle? I to am confused 😕
I don't understand what is happening at 20:00 how do you start knitting again when the working tail is in the middle of the thumb loop stitches? 🥺
You have to skip just a few stitches and continue knitting..;)
@@tommyssheep thank you 😍
do you knit o row and purl one row for the hand of the mitten
I do knit just ;)

I would make the ribbing longer. Thank you so much! :)
The yarn is amazing. I love it. Unfortunately, they do not have many colors :/
Look up Old Norwegian cast on for stretching, I used it and it works and looks good too
Thank you very much for an advice ❤️👍
if i had followed your directions around the thumb it would not have turned out i have not found this video accurate
Oh I feel sorry. Many of you have problem with the thumb. I will make one more mittens video..
How long are the cables?
32“
You can also use a longer cable, you can pull that cable in the middle of the round and knit with the longer cable as well..;)
What is the size of the needles ? And how many balls of yarn ? Thanks !
3.5 mm needles and two balls of yarn 😉
In her description box she says two balls.
Maybe DPNs would be better for the thumb?
Helloo again..I do not know what DPNs means 😁
How many stitches do I cast on to fit men's hands?
Oh I can just guess, I did not try it, I am sorry..
That's ok, thank you though!!
