Hand Knit
Posted on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 8:05 amHelp me hand-knit mittens?
If I'm trying to knit mittens, can I gradually create a little "pouch" where the thumb would go, finish the hand part and go back and finish up the pouch for a thumb? I would have to use double-pointed needles to finish the thumb part.
Yes, the pouch is called a gusset. You increase over several rows, take those stitches off, finish the hand, and then go back and make the thumb.
There are tons of free mitten patterns on the internet. If you're not using a pattern, I would recommend one. It will make it much easier, especially if this is your first pair of mittens.
