  • Didn't plan on this video being 20 minutes long but here we are. Fingerless mittens are a thing and I'm wearing them right now as I type!
    You want gloves, you want mittens? You gotta learn how to knit a gusset. That's what a big chunk of this video is devoted to.

    Finally something I can wear while I drink soup and pretend I’m a poor begger woman during the French Revolution who’s taken shelter in the church for the night and given kindness by the kind priest which makes me decide not to steal that pristine silver chalice I eyes on the way in
    Thanks RJ!

    This is by far the best tutorial for knitting mittens. I used to knit tons of socks, mittens and finger-gloves when I was young(er) but over the years forgot all about the geometry. So thank you for uploading this. It was the gussets I struggled with. So this here is exactly the right video for that. Thanks 🙂

    Just wanted to let you know that because of your sock video that you posted about 4 yrs. ago, I was able to knit my very first sock this past Oct./20. It was the easiest sock pattern for me to follow. This has been an almost one yr. project to learn how to knit socks. Thank you!

    I saw some adorable knitted dinosaur gloves on Pinterest a few days ago and decided (with no prior knitting experience) that I was gonna make them. Using ur other videos I’ve taught myself to knit and im now almost done my prototype glove (Was gonna be a final one but I messed up the sizing on the gusset so im going to try make a more formal-ish pattern from this so the next two are better and look like each other.
    Thank you so much for this perfect tutorial to help me achieve my dinosaur glove dreams.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been trying to learn to knit gloves for a few years now, but always end up giving up because it never seems right, or I can't figure out how it's supposed to look or feel based on a pattern. Appreciate your lesson. Will be watching more. I prefer to knit on circular needles though. So, I need to either figure it out with those or learn to use double pointed needles😱.

    I just finished my first pair of mittens a couple of weeks ago! I like how you handle the top of the thumb better than my pattern did and will have to try your method. We made and picked up only 1 stitch because the gusset came from what was originally 1 stitch. As you can imagine, I ended up with holes around the picked up stitch at the top of the thumb that I had to close up later. I’ll try your method with the thumb with the mitten pattern the next time that I make it. I think that it will work out better.

    I'm designing myself a pattern for fingerless mitts/handwarmers/whatever you call them, and I wasn't really sure how to conceptualize the thumb increases. In my head I was just calling it like a half-Raglan situation so I was really surprised when you used the word "gusset" which I only knew from socks before lol
    but this was super helpful and I feel much more confident going into my design and pattern now! so thanks :)

    You do not say how many stitches you put on each needle……do we just guess or use another pattern for say “small, medium or large” gloves? I see you use the “throw” method for some areas of knitting when it gets tight. Your video is well explained as regards to “what you are doing for example how to increase the gusset”.
