How to knit a pair of Mittens – Revised pattern

There were some issues with this pattern, which has now been revised.

MITTENS

Yarn: SCHACHENMAYR Merino Extrafine, special colour design by Arne & Carlos.

Yarn amount: 100 grams

Needles: U.S. size 2 – 3 / 3 and 3,5 mm set of dpn.

Gauge: 10cm  = 27 sts

CO 48 sts on smaller needle divide sts on 4dpn = 12 sts on each needle.

Join, being careful not to twist cast-on rpw.

Work around in k2, p2 rib for 8cm.

Change to larger dpns.

 

Right hand.

 Rnd 1-4:K48.

Rnd 5:K1, M1, k3, M1, k44.

Rnd 6-9:K50.
