          INSTRUCTIONS
          Cast-On & Cu
          • Cast on: W: 42-(48)-54 M: 60-(66)-72 sts using your preferred cast-on method. My preferred
            method is the long tail cast on.
          • Join to knit in the round, being careful not to twist.
          • Round 1: Knit all sts.
          • Round 2: Knit all sts through the back loop (this prevents the edge from curling).
          • Continue in stockinette stitch (knit all rounds) for W: 7-(8)-9 M: 10-(11)-12 or desired cu length.
          Thumb Gusset Increases
          • Round 1: K3, M1L, K1, M1R, knit to end.
          •   Round 2: Knit all sts.

          •   Round 4: Knit all sts.
          •   Round 5: K3, M1L, K5, M1R, knit to end.
          •   Round 6: Knit all sts.
          •   Round 7: K3, M1L, K7, M1R, knit to end.
          •   Round 8: Knit all sts.

          •   Round 12: Knit all sts.
          •   You should now have a visible gusset formed for the thumb.
          Separate Thumb Stitches
          • Round 13: K1, cast o next 15 sts (these are for the thumb), knit to end of round.
          • Round 14: K1, cast on 10 sts (to bridge over the thumb opening).
          • Continue knitting in stockinette stitch for W: 4-(4.5)-5 M: 5.5-(6)-6.5 cm (length of the thumb to
              start of ngers).
          Finishing
          • Knit 1 round through the back loop (this prevents the edge from curling.
          • Knit 1 round normally.
          • Bind o using Italian bind-o (or your preferred stretchy method).
          Second Mitten
          • Repeat all instructions for the second mitten. Since there are no ngers to these mittens, the
            right and left are worked the same way.
