Mittens are an indispensable attribute of winter clothing. Nowadays handmade knitted products are very fashionable, so their prices are not low. Do-it-yourself knitted mittens will not only add something interesting to your evening, but will also help you save an extra penny.

Knitting mittens for beginners, step by step

Let's try to knit mittens on five knitting needles. Four of them will hold the canvas, and the fifth will be working. Before you start knitting, you need to determine your size and how many stitches you will need.

To do this, you will have to make a sample, from which we will calculate the exact number of loops and the length of the mittens. You can't knit by eye. Measure the length of your fingers, wrist and hands. Based on the obtained measurements, bind the sample.

Next you should count how many loops there are per centimeter. We do this using a ruler. We multiply the number of loops obtained by the length of the arm from wrist to hand. As a result, you should have a number that is a multiple of four. If it is different, take the smaller integer that is divisible by 4. For example, it turned out to be 47, it’s not divisible by 4, let’s take 44. All that remains is to build a diagram based on the measurements taken and get to work.

For knitting you will need a set of five knitting needles and yarn. It is better to take wool, it is warm and soft. When purchasing yarn, be sure to pay attention to what needle size is written on it. If you take the wrong knitting needles, the loops will either constantly fly off, or you will find it very difficult to hook them. If you have everything ready, then you can start.

We start knitting with cuffs. Basically, the cuffs are knitted with an elastic band. We alternate 1x1 purl and knit stitches, or 2x2.

We cast on loops, let's say 44 as in our example. To prevent the edge of the cuff from pressing, you need to pick it up as loosely as possible; to do this, you can take a knitting needle one size larger and fold the thread in half. A few examples of how you can cast on stitches on knitting needles:

So, we connect two knitting needles together and cast on loops. Slowly and carefully pull out one knitting needle and knit the first row of elastic as tightly as possible. At the same time, distribute the loops onto four knitting needles. In our case, 11 on each.

After the loops are distributed and the first row is knitted, we close the knitting. Simply join the cast-on and warp threads together. Next we will knit the cuff with an elastic band simply in a circle for a length of approximately 6-8 cm, and to the base of the thumb with regular garter stitch; for beginners this is the easiest option. But if you want, you can create a pattern in the form of a braid on the back of your palm.

Let's say you have finished 7 cm of elastic and proceed to the main fabric. Select eight loops in the place where the pattern will be. You can do this using special knitting markers. We will knit these 8 loops as follows: purl 2, knit 6, purl 2. We knit five rows in this way. Next: purl 2, knit 3. remove with a pin (fasten the pin), k3. We remove the loops from the pin onto the left knitting needle and knit three stitches. Next, we knit five rows again according to the previous pattern. On the sixth we use the pin again. And we do this every five rows. You will get a pattern<<коса>>.

Now we knit the finger and finish knitting.

We apply the canvas to the left hand. For the thumb, make four knit stitches on the fourth needle. Remove the loops that go further with a pin, replace them with air ones and continue knitting to the top of the little finger. Then start decreasing evenly on each side, placing the fabric against the pattern to check.

Approaching the top of the middle finger, you need to knit the remaining two loops together and pull the end of the thread to the wrong side. Cut off everything unnecessary.

The thumb remains. Cast on loops around the remaining portion of the fabric. Divide them into four knitting needles and knit to the middle of the nail. There, begin a uniform decrease. When two loops remain, knit them and hide the end of the thread on the wrong side. You can decorate the mittens as desired.

Lessons on knitting mittens, master class

If you succeeded with five knitting needles and you have mastered the basics of knitting mittens, let's knit something more complicated. These are such beautiful mittens made of 100% alpaca wool 167m/50g.

You will need two skeins of yarn. And also stocking needles No. 3 plus another auxiliary needle, and a hook.

We will knit with double thread. We distribute 12 loops on the knitting needles. We have 48 of them in total.

Now we will knit the pattern.

Let's return everything back:

We knit with the main thread using face loops:

We continue to knit. This is what three patterns look like:

We continue knitting until the fingers are visible, as in the photo:

Let's start working on the thumb. Remove the conditional thread of a different color and put the loops on the knitting needles, four on each:

The second mitten is knitted similarly.

Sizes for knitting mittens

Measure the circumference of your palm and compare it with the table.

Mittens knitting table

Without exact numbers and calculations you can’t even knit a mitten. Mittens do not require much yarn, no more than one hundred grams for adults and about sixty for children. Yarn consumption increases patterns. If you want to add a braid pattern, for example, then you should buy 25% more yarn.

The first table is for yarn 200m/50g. Knitting needles approximately 2.5.

The second table is for yarn 125m/50g. Knitting needles approximately 3-3.5.

Indian knitting mittens

Indian mitten knitting involves knitting the thumb<<индийским клином>>. These mittens fit very comfortably on the hand, and they are very easy to knit. In this design, they begin to knit the thumb from the elastic band. We’ll look at how to do this below, but here are several options for knitting mittens using an Indian wedge:

Knitting mittens with an Indian wedge

We will knit men's mittens. Yarn Lana gold 800m/100g and angora 500m/100g. In general, they start knitting the wedge immediately after the cuff, but we will first knit several rows and only then start making the wedge.

To create a wedge, you need to add on the left mitten between the fifth and sixth loops, on the right between 18 and 19.

Patterns for knitting mittens, diagrams with descriptions

Knitting pattern for children's mittens

Knitting Thumb Mittens

This method is convenient to use if you knit a pattern on both sides.

To knit the thumb, transfer the loops onto two knitting needles of four. From the opposite edge we cast on eight stitches and also divide them into two knitting needles of four. We continue knitting the finger in a circle. We reach the middle of the nail and begin a uniform decrease. We knit the last loops together and hide the thread.

Another way is to knit the thumb on two needles.

Knitting the thumb of mittens with a wedge

This type of knitting is called both the raglan finger and the anatomical thumb. Tie the elastic band as you need, then proceed as described.

On the third knitting needle we cast on nine chain stitches and knit the remaining ones. Next, follow the pattern and knit the mittens to the top. At the same time, do not forget to decrease two loops on the third knitting needle so that the wedge goes away. To knit a finger, transfer the loops to the knitting needles. We knit an additional nine loops from broaches and spread them over two knitting needles. We knit the finger in a circle.

Knitting mittens with braids

Interesting mittens with convex braids. But before you start doing the work, try knitting the pattern itself separately. This will make it easier for you to understand what knitting density is required for your yarn and how many loops you need.

Cast on 52 stitches on double needles. Distribute them 13 each. The elastic band will be 2 by 2, in forty rows.

Jacquard knitting mittens

You will need approximately 100 grams of yarn. Knitting needle size 2-2.5. As always, start by calculating your knitting density and stitches. Tie the cuff. After this, you can start knitting the pattern. One loop is one cell in the diagram. Work with the pattern carefully, do not tighten the threads too tightly, but also make sure that the thread does not sag from the wrong side.

We knit the mitten with a pattern up to the thumb. Where you remove seven or eight stitches, pick up the same number of stitches and continue the pattern to the top. Finish the top in a way that suits you best.

We also knit the thumb as you feel comfortable.

To knit such mittens you will need twice as much yarn. Work on a double mitten also begins with determining the size and calculation of the loops. When you have everything calculated and ready, you can start knitting.

Let's say we need 48 loops. Divide them into four knitting needles of 12. Knit twenty rows of rib. We knit the next fifteen lines only for faces. We designate the thumb. To do this, knit four loops on the first knitting needle, and remove the next 8 with a pin. Then we again cast on eight stitches on the first knitting needle and continue knitting the mitten until it is completed. We knit the thumb.

Then we return again to the beginning of the mitten, the first row of elastic. We dial 48 stitches there again and knit 40 rows with an elastic band. Next, we knit the mitten according to the pattern we went through.

Knitting men's mittens

The principle of knitting men's mittens is not very different from knitting classic ones. The only difference is the size. Above we have already provided a table of sizes that you can use as a guide.

Knitting mittens on two knitting needles

You can knit prefabricated mittens on two knitting needles, that is, you will need to sew the parts together, or you can do it without tearing off the threads. Let's try to connect the second option. You will need two knitting needles and optional yarn. The size of the knitting needles should correspond to the thickness of the yarn.

Cast on 24 stitches and knit three to four rows in regular scarf stitch. Next we knit the cuffs with an elastic band 1 by 1. After you knit the cuffs, continue working with knit stitches to the tip of the little finger. Then you need to make an even decrease until you have ten loops left in the middle.

We knit at the height of the thumb, and then we go back in the same way as with the mitten itself. After the finger is ready, we finish the canvas. We tie the face to the elastic band. and knit an elastic band 1 by 1.

The mittens are ready. Don’t forget to try on the product as you work so you don’t have to re-bandage it.

Mittens or knitted mittens have been known to people for many centuries. For our northern latitudes with long winters warm clothes for the hands were very useful. Men's mittens were strict and short, while women's were distinguished by intricate patterns and fine knitting. And today, colorful mittens are worn not only by little children, but also by the most picky urban fashionistas.

How to knit mittens correctly

Knitting mittens on 5 knitting needles

Knitting on 5 needles requires knowledge of small nuances:

When done correctly, you will end up with a neat, uniform tube of knitted fabric. This is how socks, mittens, gloves or hats are knitted. You can learn more about knitting hats, as well as knitting a beret yourself, in another section.

First, let's master simple knitting of women's mittens and only after that we will move on to pictures or patterns.

Knitting begins with an elastic band:

• For the elastic, you need to choose thinner knitting needles than for the main fabric. Take 2 knitting needles from the set and cast on 20 stitches. On another pair of needles, cast on the next 20 stitches. Pay special attention to the thread tension between the two pairs of needles.

Main part:

• Distribute the stitches onto 4 knitting needles and start knitting with a pattern of 2 knit stitches by 2 purl stitches. Knit an elastic band as long as you think is sufficient for your mittens.
• After this, move on to other knitting needles and a knitting pattern using stockinette stitch.
• Work in satin stitch up to your thumb. In place of the hole in the first knitting needle, knit 7-8 loops with a thread of a contrasting color. This will be a kind of marker. Then we will return to it.
• Continue knitting in stockinette stitch to the end of your index finger. After this you need to start decreasing the loops. To do this, you need to knit together the last loop of the first and the first loop of the second knitting needle. The same must be done with the loops of the third and fourth knitting needles.
• Decrease the loops until you meet at one point. Pull the thread through the remaining loops and fasten to the inside of the mitten.

Knitting a thumb mitten with knitting needles:

• Pull out the marker thread and cast on 7-8 stitches on the bottom and 8-9 stitches on the top. Additionally, pull 2 ​​more side loops from the fabric, knit them crossed so as not to get holes at the base of the thumb.
• Knit in stockinette stitch for a length of fabric equal to the length of your thumb.
• Start decreasing stitches. Connect the last 2 loops with a knitting thread. Pull the thread inside your thumb.

Knit the left mitten according to a similar pattern, but in a mirror image. Place the marker thread not on the first, but on the fourth needle.

You can knit simple mittens not only in knit stitch, but also in garter stitch. Learn more about —how to knit garter stitch—.

Knitting the thumb with a wedge

The set of loops at the thumb hole cannot always be done evenly. Check out another way to knit a thumb with a wedge. This mitten looks more ergonomic and is much easier to perform.

If you have already knitted enough mittens, you can master knitting footwear with knitting needles.

Knitting mittens with a braid

The braided pattern not only decorates the mitten, but also makes it warmer and more voluminous. It is these mittens that many tourists bring from trips to northern countries. These mittens are primarily functional - they are warm and reliably protect your hands from the cold.

One central braid falls at the junction of the third and fourth knitting needles (on the right hand). It is difficult to do it carefully when moving from knitting needle to knitting needle. Therefore, you will need to master knitting on 3 needles. Transfer loops from 3 and 4 knitting needles to one. This way you can knit an openwork braid according to the pattern and maintain the general rules for constructing a mitten. On the left hand, everything needs to be done in a mirror image.

Look at several options for making braids on women's mittens.

Knitting slippers with knitting needles will help you while away the long winter evenings.

Knitting beautiful mittens with patterns and descriptions

Having mastered the basic version of knitting mittens, you immediately want to move on to openwork patterns or designs. They look great with down jackets and winter coats.

Openwork patterns on mittens are good for moderately cold days.

Perky chanterelles are knitted according to the pattern shown in the figure. But with such a detailed alternation of threads you will have to tinker. But this design on mittens will be the envy of all your friends.

Using the same knitting pattern, you can create an image of an owl on mittens.

But if you don’t want to play around with many shades, you can simply knit an owl on mittens according to the pattern.

Double mittens are very warm, which means you can spend more time playing in the yard. Look at these funny drawings. Now we will try to knit them ourselves.

• pattern for a child's hand;
• yarn in 2 shades - blue and yellow;

• some black yarn for decoration;
• 5 double needles.

Operating procedure:

• Start knitting like a regular mitten and knit it completely from start to finish. Only you can initially knit the elastic longer, because it will curl inward a little.
• Along the edge of the finished mitten, cast on the same number of loops and knit in a mirror pattern, but in the other direction.
• When knitting the thumb, reduce the number of loops by 2 pieces. This way you can place one finger inside the other without any problems.
• Be sure to attach the tops of the mittens to one another after shaping the mittens. This way they will not turn out when removed.

Knitted slippers will help your baby warm up after a long walk.

Children's mittens differ from adults not only in size. Even bright mittens often get lost, so the elastic on them needs to be made longer and tighter. You can make special ties on the wrists.

There can never be too many mittens. They get lost, do not dry out on the battery, and yet you need to go for a walk again. You can master knitting mittens using 2 knitting needles using this pattern.

Men's accessories have never needed special decoration. But they must be practical and non-staining. It’s good if they are double, then it will be convenient to open a car door that is frozen from standing outside for a long time.

So it is better to choose yarn for men’s hands with a high content of natural fibers - thick and soft. The size of the mitten should also not exactly follow the contours of the hand, because we remember that men need to move and work. The area on the palms can be double knitted. By adhering to the special technique described in the diagram, you can get double volume, as they say, in one go.

Otherwise, the knitting pattern is similar to the women's one. Here are some options for rugged, but still complementary decor.

Video with lessons on knitting mittens

• Video with a master class on knitting double mittens. An interesting point is that the elastic band is knitted after the main and inner mittens have been completed.

• The author of the video talks about knitting children's mittens. The fleece lining not only insulates the knitted fabric, but also makes the lining as comfortable as possible for baby's hands.

• A video with a lesson on knitting mittens on two knitting needles with fishing line will help you do it much faster. But for the thumb you will still need to buy a set of double needles and master the technique of handling them.

• Patterns with braids are popular not only with clothes. Warm and beautiful mittens made of yarn with lurex thread are suitable not only for a jacket, but also for an elegant coat.

• The author of the video tells how to knit fingerless mittens or mittens. Particular attention should be paid to the question of how to finish knitting so that the edge of the product turns out perfect.

Do you know how to knit mittens? Tell us about your secrets, we will be grateful for any comments.

It is not surprising that with the onset of cold weather, knitters look to them for inspiration, because in winter, while walking outdoors, you want to keep your hands warm. For modern fashionistas, mittens are an important part of a stylish wardrobe, so they take the choice of a suitable design or pattern very seriously. But there are also those craftswomen who only dream of mastering new knitting techniques, so it is important for them to choose simple and understandable patterns.

Patterns for knitting mittens

If you already have a set and a scarf ready, then a great addition to it will be knitted mittens with a pattern for girls. Here you can be offered the simplest option so that all accessories are made in the same style, and learn how to knit braids. It is very important to know the main secrets of making this winter accessory. They are knitted in the classical way on stocking needles (less commonly, circular needles). If your choice is circular, then be sure to take a closer look at the technique called “Magic Loop”, and the length of the fishing line on the tool should be at least 80 cm.

With this technique, the free line is pulled in both directions and hangs in a free loop. It’s as if you are knitting two separate halves of the product, but they are connected into one whole: when you knit one half, you need to turn the work, pull the fishing line to the other side, and continue knitting again. Of course, it is better for beginner knitters to buy the most common tool, which is also used for socks, which is why they are called “sock knitters.”

It is advisable to choose woolen threads for the product; they retain heat best, and this is what is most valued in a winter accessory. You can choose a thread with the addition of 5-10% synthetic fiber to make the product more resistant to intensive everyday wear. For a 2.4 mm tool, you should opt for threads with a density of 200 m per 50 grams.

As a rule, for a women's or men's accessory with a simple pattern you will need 100-120 grams of yarn, for children's work even less - only 60 grams. Please note, if your choice fell on “braids” pattern for mittens with knitting needles, diagrams they consume approximately 30% more yarn. Therefore, always buy skeins with a reserve so as not to be left with an unknitted product just because the store has run out of threads in the color you need. For women's models, it is advisable to buy 150 grams of yarn, and for children's models - 100 grams.

Pattern for mittens with knitting needles: diagrams

You won't succeed beautiful patterns for knitting mittens, diagrams for which you so diligently selected, if you incorrectly calculate the number of loops to start working and incorrectly take the measurements of the brush. The mitten should fit snugly to the hand, and the elastic band on the wrist should ensure comfortable putting on of the product and protect it from snow getting inside. One of the most important steps is taking measurements; at this stage you will need a measuring tape. First you need to measure the widest part of your palm: use the simplest method and trace your hand on a white sheet, and then measure the widest part of your palm with a centimeter.

Before starting any knitting, we need to knit a control sample, thanks to which we can determine the density of knitting with the selected threads according to the pattern we have chosen. To do this, you need to cast on 10 loops and knit 10 rows with them, and then measure the dimensions of the resulting control sample. It will be easier for you to understand with an example: if, when measuring your palm, you got 20 cm, and the width of the control sample turned out to be 5 cm, then we should divide 20 by 5, and multiply the resulting value by 10. Thanks to these calculations, we get a value of 40, t .e. exactly 40 loops need to be cast on for this product. Remember that we will cast on loops on four sock needles, and that will be 10 for each.

It is also important to immediately measure the length of the elastic, where you want it to reach along your arm. To do this, you need to measure with a centimeter from your palm up to your elbow to where you want the elastic to end.

But in order for the mitten to fit comfortably on your hand, it is important to correctly determine the position of the thumb slot. Here you need to take a measurement along the inside of your palm: from its base to the base of your finger. And to understand when to start pressing off the loops, you need to measure to the tip of the little finger from the base of the palm.

Now you have all the necessary measurements, and, most importantly, you know how many loops you need to make so that the product fits snugly to your hand, protecting you from bad weather and keeping you warm. And now there are no barriers to making it work beautiful pattern for knitting mittens.

Patterns for children's mittens knitted

Master patterns for knitting mittens- the dream of every beginning knitter, but you should always start with the simplest, and at the same time original. Among the most popular patterns is the “braid” ornament, which will perfectly complement a winter accessory and turn it into a unique thing that only you have.

Despite how beautiful and unusual the braid looks, it is quite easy to master this pattern, the main thing is to choose a clear pattern and be patient. And, of course, prepare the materials that we will need for:

• Soft yarn (angora, acrylic, wool) - 70 grams
• Stocking needles - 5 pcs.

As we have already said, you need to carry out all the measurements required for this work in advance and knit a control sample with the selected threads. Mittens are always knitted one at a time, and most often the craftswomen start with the right one, and then use the same algorithm to knit the left mitten.

First we need to cast on 48 stitches to start knitting and distribute them equally between the four tools. Next there will be several rows of comfortable elastic, which in our case will be made according to the pattern - 2 by 2. The elastic will consist of as many rows as the length you want to get it. As we mentioned earlier, you definitely need to measure the desired length of the future elastic band using your hand.

After the finished elastic band, we will have the main “braid” pattern, which is performed only on the front bar of our accessory; on the inside of the palm we will have the front stitch, but we can give preference to a simple “tangle” pattern.

To create a voluminous braid pattern, we need to understand its main principle: we will have 8 loops crossing to the left: we leave four loops on the auxiliary needle, and knit the next four with this auxiliary needle. But let’s take a closer look at the presented diagram, which has its own subtleties.

For convenience, we will start counting the rows after the elastic band again: rows 1-6 should be knitted according to the pattern - 1 knit, 2 purl, 8 knit, 2 purl, 8 knit, 2 purl and 1 knit. From the palm side (loops on two knitting needles) you need to knit everything.

In the 7th row we will have the first crossing: 1lp + 2ip + 8 crossing left + 2p + 8 crossing right + 2p + 1p.

In the future, according to the scheme, we will simply need to repeat the algorithm from rows 1 to 7. When performing monotonous actions, you should remember in time about the hole for the finger; to do this, you need to remove six loops on an iron pin, and cast on six loops on a knitting needle and knit them. We will start working on the finger at the very end of the work.

We need to knit the fabric further: on one side we will form a braid, on the other we will go with a regular stockinette stitch. Having knitted several rows after the hole for the finger, you can put the resulting workpiece on your hand to see how comfortably it sits and make sure that your thumb is in the right place.

When you reach the height of the mitten to the little finger, you can begin to form the toe; to do this, you need to gradually decrease the loops, knitting them two at a time. At the very end, you will be left with a small hole at the top, which must be carefully sewn up with threads of the same color.

Knitting patterns for mittens with description

If, for inspiration, you looked online at photographs of finished works from experienced craftswomen, then you probably noticed jacquard knitting patterns for mittens with description. You will get a unique product, which is decorated with geometric motifs or ethnographic patterns, which are rich in bright colors and floral patterns. For a jacquard product, you can choose any diagram presented or draw your own.

Hand knitting jacquard mittens was popular several centuries ago, when craftswomen spun the yarn themselves, dyed it at home, and then created a unique accessory using thin knitting needles. Since homemade yarn is almost twice as thin as industrial yarn, which you can buy in a store today, the old patterns will not work for you. Such patterns are designed for 120 loops in a circle, and our classic knitting for adults is most often based on 60 loops.

To make the jacquard perfect, you should take threads of the same thickness; these should be high-quality threads from the same manufacturer and series. Sometimes you can come across the idea that leftover yarn can be used for jacquard, but only if it meets our conditions. If you knit using the old method, you should buy natural sheep's wool on the market and then dye it by hand.

Wool always shrinks correctly, but please note that after evaporation, shrinkage will occur and our product will become 1 cm narrower. This should be taken into account when you calculate the number of loops.

If you choose, then be sure to pay attention to Scandinavian motifs, which have not gone out of fashion over the past few years.

Knitted mittens with a pattern for girls

To begin with, you can choose the simplest two-color knitting patterns for children's mittens For example, the combination of red and white yarn looks very beautiful. You will need about 100 grams, i.e. one skein of 50 grams of red and white yarn, their consumption will be approximately the same.

The cuff, as always, is made with a regular elastic band; it can be made according to a 1-1 or 2-2 scheme, but the edge itself can also be carefully decorated, for example, by making teeth or a decorative braid. This way, you will get a neat edge of the cuff, which is important for the neat appearance of the product itself.

We will be based on 60 loops, which must be distributed over four knitting needles. As a rule, the main pattern is always located on the back, and a simple two-color motif can be made on the palm. To frame the picture, you can “run” white stripes on the sides. Jacquard can also be used for, especially if both products are part of the same set.

Choosing jacquard patterns for knitting mittens, diagrams with descriptions it is very important to choose the right ones, where each cell of the pattern will correspond to one loop of your knitting. Therefore, carefully check that the back pattern in the cells does not exceed 25-30 pieces. When you knit jacquard, you can't avoid pulling the threads along the wrong side, but you can't make them too big, because you will constantly catch your fingers on them. After every 2-3 loops of the same color, it is best to twist the threads.

For a jacquard to be beautiful, you cannot tighten the fabric too much, and the broaches on the reverse side should not sag, they should be stretched tightly, so you will definitely need practice to find the golden mean.

The most difficult thing in the design is to carefully make decreases so as not to harm the beauty of the jacquard pattern. Decrements should be made on the sides, knitting two together

Winter and autumn are the most fun times for your face and hands. They are constantly in contact with fresh air, which means rain, cold, wind and other unpleasant phenomena of the cold season. And if the face can be hidden in a collar, under a hat or hood, then the hands are given a miserable refuge in the form of pockets or gloves. And it’s good if the gloves are good enough not to interfere with your fingers’ movement. After all, on the street you have to take out your wallet (and then count out money), and use your mobile phone, and perform a bunch of other small operations.

Crochet gloves, yes and knitted gloves, designed specifically to combine the incongruous: finger mobility and warmth for the hands. Clear, uncomplicated patterns will make the process of knitting gloves and mittens enjoyable, and you will be rewarded with wonderful accessories that will allow you to fully enjoy the cold weather. A mittens knitted, which were knitted by our grandmothers as a gift to restless grandchildren, will warm the most dear and beloved sons and daughters. And for those needlewomen who have not yet mastered knitting needles, crochet mittens, which in loving hands turn into a real protective talisman for your children.

Mittens have always been the most practical and comfortable for cold winters. Today there is a huge selection of mittens in stores for the whole family, but it is much more pleasant to wear things that were created with love with your own hands.

Having learned to knit, you can create entire sets: hat, scarf, mittens. They will harmonize beautifully with each other if they are made in the same style with the same pattern.

I propose to go directly to the discussion of the topic: “how to knit mittens with knitting needles - step-by-step instructions.”

How to knit mittens with knitting needles (step by step for beginners)

In order to learn how to knit beautiful stylish mittens, you need to learn how to knit the simplest ones, on the basis of which you can create the most original models for the whole family.

Seamless mittens - master class with detailed description

The most interesting thing is that even the lazy can cope with this model. They can be plain, but the author suggests adding a few red stripes for variety.

For work we will need wool thread (70 g), 5 double needles No. 3.

The product is knitted from top to bottom on five needles, as a result of which it will turn out without a seam. Calculation of the number of loops: 20 x 1,7 = 34 loops. Distribute 34 stitches onto 4 knitting needles. I suggest rounding up and casting on 36 loops, so we get 9 each.

To make the explanation easier, let's give each knitting needle a serial number. Closing the circle, we knit four loops of the 1st knitting needle together with the end of the yarn remaining on the 4th knitting needle from the set of loops, so that the circle closes tightly around the edge.

1:1630 1:417 1:689 1:699

2:1206 2:1216

The thumb will be knitted on the 1st needle, for the left - on the 2nd. To do this, knit the first loop on the 1st knitting needle with a thread of the main color. All other loops, except the last one, are knitted with colored thread. Then we return the loops connected with the colored thread to the 1st knitting needle and knit it again with the main thread. We get a colored stroke. This will be the hole for the thumb in the future. Next, we simply knit up to the little finger (about 8 cm).

3:516 3:526

Then we proceed to decreasing the loops on the toe of the mitten. On the 1st and 3rd knitting needles, at the beginning, we knit the first two loops together using the front stitch in the second way (at the back walls), having first turned over the 1st loop. On the 2nd and 4th knitting needles we knit two loops together at the end of the knitting needle using the first method (behind the front walls). So we decrease the loops through the circle until each knitting needle has half the number of loops (in our case, when the number of loops on each knitting needle is odd, we decrease the smaller part through the circle - 4 loops), then we decrease the loops in each circle (5 loops). At the same time, on the 1st and 3rd knitting needles, in those rows where we do not decrease the loops, we also turn the first loops over and knit them in the first way. When there are 2 loops on each knitting needle, tighten the loops and secure them on the wrong side.

Now let's get started thumb tying. To do this, carefully pull the colored thread out of the thumb hole. Then we insert two knitting needles into the free loops, we get 7 loops on the lower knitting needle, 6 on the upper knitting needle. We begin to knit the finger, distributing the loops on 4 knitting needles: 4 loops on the first, 3 on the second and pull one loop from the side edge of the hole, on the 3rd and the 4th knitting needle will also have 4 loops (3+1 from the side edge of the hole). To make it more convenient, the end of the working thread can be lowered into the hole (on the wrong side of the product).

4:1479 4:1489

We continue to knit the finger in a circle until the middle of the nail, and then begin to decrease the loops in the same way as when knitting the toe of the mitten: on the 1st and 3rd knitting needles at the beginning, on the 2nd and 4th knitting needles at the end, but decreasing We do it in every row. When there is 1 loop left on each knitting needle, we tighten the loops and fasten them on the wrong side.

Left mitten knitted similarly to the right one, but in a mirror image: we knit the hole for the finger on the 2nd knitting needle.

Step-by-step instructions for knitting mittens on two knitting needles

These long mittens can also be knitted on two knitting needles. You can knit two parts separately and then join the halves, but we will consider the option where you only have to make one invisible seam (this will be correct and visually more beautiful).

4:757 4:767

Needed: yarn, knitting needles, regular and knitting pins, measuring tape, hook, needle.

4:935 4:945

5:1452 5:1462

Let's start with the right part.

We measure the circumference of the wrist, the length of the palm and thumb. It is also necessary to measure the knitting density by knitting a little. We measure how many loops there are per 1 cm. My girth is 20 cm, there are 2 loops in 1 cm. You need 40p-4 = set of 36p + 2 edges.

We start from the bottom with a 2x2 elastic (knit 2, purl 2). It turned out to be approximately 10 cm (15 rows).

5:591 5:601

6:1108 6:1118

Next, we move on to the main fabric, where you can choose knitting needles of a smaller diameter. In the second row, add 4 stitches evenly. Next we simply knit 7 rows to the base of the thumb. You can try on and knit more or less if necessary.

The finger in the mitten is not on the side, but somewhat closer to the palm, so for the right mitten we knit as follows.

6:226 6:236

• A. - edge, 2p. We knit according to the drawing and remove it with a regular sewing pin.
• B. - For a finger, take 6-7 loops. Depending on completeness. We knit 7 loops according to the pattern, and remove all the remaining ones with a pin.
• V. - we only have 7 thumb loops left on the working knitting needle.

We knit in height with the main pattern, without edges!!! We multiply the length of the finger by 2. My finger is 6 cm * 2 = 12 cm in height. 21 rows came out. WE KNIT THE FIRST AND LAST ACCORDING TO THE DRAWING!!! We return the loops from the large pin to the knitting needle.

8:516 8:526 8:845 8:855

9:1362 9:1372

We divide all the loops into 2. We remove one part with a pin.

9:1468 9:1478

Let's start cutting down.

10:58 10:68

11:575 11:585 11:873

We knit the purl row according to the pattern. I don't have 20 stitches on my needle. I knit like this: edge, knit 1, knit 2 together, knit 12, knit 2 together, knit 1, purl 1. Total 20 stitches. We shorten this way in each front row until there are 6-8 loops left on the knitting needle. I have 7.

11:1311 11:1321

Close the loops and do the same procedure with the second half. To finish correctly, simply knit two stitches together, transferring the knitted one to the main needle.

12:359 12:369

13:876 13:886 13:1020 13:1030

From these lessons we can conclude that knitting is not that difficult. Knitting mittens requires basic knowledge and a little free time.

Knitted mittens with a pattern (diagrams and description)

Having learned to knit the simplest patterns, you can dilute them with beautiful patterns, giving free rein to your imagination.

And now I suggest switching to more complex mittens with knitting needles (diagrams and descriptions will help you understand this difficult task).

How to knit beautiful mittens with braids for women

Mittens with braids, knitting patterns and descriptions for lovers of the classics.

The braid will be the main decoration. We chose a simple braid, but if you are not afraid of difficulties, you can choose a more complex and original option.

Yarn - acrylic (can be made from angora), approximately 70 g; stocking needles No. 3.5.

14:1431 14:1441

Elastic pattern: K2, P2.

Knitting a braid pattern: 8 loops cross to the left (leave 4 loops on the auxiliary needle before work, knit 4 and knit loops from the auxiliary needle).

Cross 8 loops to the right (leave 4 loops on the auxiliary needle while working, knit 4 and knit loops from the auxiliary needle).

Cast on 48 stitches and distribute them onto stocking needles, resulting in 12 stitches on each needle. Knit with a 3.5 cm elastic pattern (if the elastic is not enough for you, knit more than cm).

Then, we start knitting the main pattern. For the convenience of knitting the “braid” pattern, I transfer the loops from the 1st and 2nd knitting needles to one knitting needle. Those. I have the loops distributed over 3 knitting needles (not 4 knitting needles), on the first knitting needle there are 24 loops of the main pattern, and on the 2nd and 3rd knitting needles from the palm side there are 12 loops each.

So, the first row after the elastic begins with a knitting needle with 24 loops, we begin to knit the main pattern.

Rows 1-6: K1, P2, K8, P2, K8, P2, K1, knit stitches on 2 knitting needles from the palm side.

7th row: K1, P2, 8 loops cross to the left, P2, 8 loops cross to the right, P2, K1, loops on 2 knitting needles from the palm side we knit. Repeat rows 1-7 throughout the entire work.

15:528 15:538

16:1045 16:1055

At a height of 10 cm from the beginning of knitting (you don’t have to have 10 cm, everyone’s hands and fingers are different), we form a hole for the thumb. Let's start with the left mitten. On the knitting needle from the side of the palm (3rd knitting needle) we knit 4 knits, remove 6 sts on a pin, put 6 sts on the knitting needle (so that there are 12 left, as before), k2.

We knit the hole for the thumb of the right mitten symmetrically, i.e. on the second knitting needle from the palm side: knit 2, knit 6, slip onto a pin, and knit 6, knit 4 on the knitting needle.

Formation of the toe carried out after the little finger on the hand is closed.

16:442 16:452

17:959 17:969

For a rounded toe, knit two middle stitches together on each needle.

Decrease stitches in each row until only 1 stitch remains on the needles (4 in total). After this, tear off the thread of the ball and thread it into the needle. Use a needle to pick up all 4 stitches, pull them off and fasten them from the inside of the mittens.

17:1494 17:1504

After the two mittens are knitted, we begin knitting the thumb. To do this, remove 6 sts from a pin onto a knitting needle, cast on 6 sts on a parallel row and cast on 4 sts on two side rows. In total, we got 20 stitches, distribute them onto 4 knitting needles (5 stitches per knitting needle).

17:475 17:485

18:992 18:1002

And we knit circular rows of faces. to the required finger length. We form the toe of the finger similarly to the formation of the toe of the mitten.

18:1222 18:1239

Knitting

We will knit the mittens using two knitting needles. Then we carefully sew the knitted halves together. This method is the most optimal for beginner knitters.

Left mitten

Top

Cast on with knitting needles 36 sts. and perform an elastic band 2k.x2p. You can knit “braids” instead of an elastic band:
1r., 3r., 5r.: * 4l., 2i.* - repeat from * to * - until the end of the r.
2p., 4p.: according to the drawing;
6r.: for 4l. loops we knit a “braid” - see photo.

Knit the cuff to the desired height. Usually it is 6-9cm, approximately 30 rows. Then we move on to the front surface. Having knitted 4 rows, from the 5th row we knit the kitten according to the pattern.

The dimensions of the drawing are 27p. wide, 43 rub. in height. Therefore, at first p. knit 7p. main color, 3 p. dark gray, then according to the drawing. You can knit a kitten’s scarf according to the pattern, or you can simplify your task by knitting it separately and sewing it on. We knit to the height of the little finger, i.e. about 14cm. Then we switch again to the “braid” pattern.

Let's start decreasing the loops. We do this using one of the classic methods - knitting a round or triangular toe. For the round one we knit 2 stitches. together in 1 p. For a triangular one, we knit 2 stitches symmetrically on both sides. together in the front rows. We tighten the remaining loops with thread and fasten.

Palm

We knit according to the description of the top. At a height of 6-7 cm from the beginning of the faces. satin stitch (this is about 17 rubles) we begin to knit the thumb. To do this, having knitted 26l, remove 8p. for a pin, 2l. In the next row, knitting purl. p. to the pin, dial 8p. Then we continue to work on describing the top (only without the pattern).

Thumb

Remove 8 stitches from the pin and place 2 stitches on each side of the hole. and take to work the 8p typed from above. We have 20p. Round on 3 sp. knit the height to the beginning of the nail. Then we make decreases: we decrease 1 point evenly four times. in every r. When 3 stitches remain, break the thread, tighten the loops, bring the thread to the wrong side and fasten.

Assembly

Sew both halves. If you decide to make the scarf separately, then knit it and carefully sew it on.

Knitting beautiful openwork mittens with knitting needles is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. But nothing is impossible in the world, and therefore, with patience and being in a good mood, it is quite possible to create another knitted masterpiece that will warm your hands in the cold spring!

Knitting examples with patterns

In order to knit beautiful openwork mittens, in addition to the pattern itself, we will also need:

• stocking needles No. 3 and 5;
• pins;
• white yarn “Favorit” 100 g.

Let's look at the process of creating openwork mittens using the example of a product with size seven.

As a rule, mittens are usually knitted on four needles. The process of creating a knitted product looks the same as shown in the diagram:

Since this small knitting machine is designed primarily for needlewomen with some experience, we will not focus your attention on describing the entire knitting pattern. Let us only clarify the fact that the work begins with an “elastic band” consisting of 2 knit and 2 purl loops replacing each other.

So, for example, to create the left gauntlet you will need to dial in a total of 44p. That is, in the end it turns out that at the beginning of work there should be 11 stitches on the knitting needles.

The loops from the first and second knitting needles will need to be knitted strictly according to the pattern, and the loops for the cuff, that is, those that are on the 3rd and 4th knitting needles, will need to be knitted with an elastic band:

The patterns used are quite simple, but despite this, the mittens turn out to be very interesting and elegant.

Patterns for openwork mittens can be different; their choice largely depends on your personal preferences and skills. However, it is worth noting that recently simple patterns such as, for example, an openwork track have become especially popular:

A product with such a pattern looks very stylish and beautiful. Even a novice craftswoman can easily knit such mittens using the following pattern:

To create these adorable mittens you will need:

• 5 knitting needles No. 2 and 5;
• scheme;
• 70 grams of yarn;
• pin.

To knit such mittens, you will need to put 14 air loops on each working knitting needle. Then, using the fifth knitting needle, you can begin to create the side of the openwork mitten.

Its width ranges from 6 to 8cm. The side is knitted with an elastic band.

Knitting is carried out strictly according to the pattern, at the end the toe and thumb are made. To form the thumb, the removed and thrown links are distributed among three tools and knitted in a circle.

When the finger is almost completely tied, decreases begin to be made: first, 1 st every 1 row, and then in each row. After 1 stitch remains, it is sewn up with thread.

Knitted items never go out of fashion, and are especially relevant, for obvious reasons, in the cold season. If you wish, you can create a miracle for each family member with your own hands. This needlework is accessible to those who know how to hold knitting needles in their hands and are familiar with the variety of loops. To make the products colorful, use diagrams describing patterns for knitting mittens.

Mittens can be knitted in different ways:

• crochet;
• traditionally (2 knitting needles);
• using a set of knitting needles.

As a result, they are obtained whole or from parts that are sewn together. Using five knitting needles, the product is created without seams. First, the cast-on loops are divided equally into 4 knitting needles, the remaining one will be the working one. The top and palm each have half. If you knit stitches on all needles, you will get one row. When knitting mittens, patterns designed for 2 knitting needles are often used.

This requires compliance with certain rules:

1. Since this is a circle, all the loops on the wrong side are knitted in reverse: face - wrong side, wrong side - face.
2. When knitting with a set of knitting needles, pay attention only to the odd rows, which are knitted twice.
3. All even-numbered rows are counted from right to left, but the stitches are knitted in reverse: wrong side - face side, face side - wrong side.
4. If there is a shift in the pattern on both the face and the back, then all odd rows are knitted as shown in the pattern for traditional knitting.

Knitting mittens using stockinette stitch

Knitting is a little difficult at first for those who pick up knitting needles for the first time. It is better to improve your skills by knitting simple things: socks, mittens, scarves. These items are necessary for a person. Nowadays you can buy them, and if they are knitted by the hands of a loved one, it will become a pleasant and necessary gift.

Yarn selection

Yarn for mittens is chosen depending on weather conditions.

She may be:

• woolen - for severe frosts with winds;
• half-woolen - for variable temperatures;
• acrylic - for small children.

Children under one year old are not comfortable wearing mittens made of wool and wool blends, because they tend to “bite.” Despite the fact that acrylic is a synthetic fiber, it retains heat well. Knitting threads can be dyed in one or more colors. There is a so-called fancy yarn. It has irregularities and fluff.

Things knitted from such threads turn out to be original and fashionable.

Wool consumption for mittens:

• children - from 50 to 80 g;
• female - 80-100 g;
• men's - 100-120 g.

Knitting needle selection

Knitting needles are the main tool of a knitter. They differ in purpose, material of manufacture, and thickness. A sweater, jumper, jacket, dress is knitted with paired knitting needles or connected with fishing line (circular). Knitting needles are made from various materials. The knitter selects them at her own discretion.

What to pay attention to:

1. Lightness - heavy ones quickly tire your hand.
2. Thread slipping - well-processed products do not catch the thread, which allows you not to be distracted or nervous while working.
3. End - the knitting needles should not be too sharp so as not to injure your fingers; blunt ends will be difficult to pry up the thread.
4. Size - determined by the diameter of the knitting needle and measured in millimeters. They are selected depending on the thickness of the thread. Knitting density is achieved by the ratio of the thickness of the knitting needles and yarn. On a skein of thread, the manufacturer indicates the number of knitting needles for knitting with this yarn.

Steel knitting needles are good for fine yarn. They are not long, the surface is slippery, the hand does not get tired from the weight. Aluminum ones stain the thread. Therefore, they are only suitable for dark yarns.

For mittens with patterns, according to the diagrams with descriptions, knitting needles of different thicknesses are selected. For example, for tying braids and plaits, thicker tools are needed, and for openwork patterns, thinner ones are needed. Experienced craftsmen knit elastic with knitting needles 1 size smaller than the main part.

Required measurements

To ensure that the mittens fit perfectly and fit your hand perfectly, the following measurements are necessary:

Stages of circular knitting of plain mittens on four knitting needles

Having everything you need at hand (knitting needles, yarn, measurements), you can start knitting.

Set of loops and knitting elastic

First, knit an elastic band. To retain heat, it should fit your hand tightly and not be short. In children's products, this part is at least 3 - 4 cm, and adult mittens look beautiful with an elastic band from 7 to 9 cm. If desired, it is knitted longer to make a hem. This way it will look more voluminous. Elastic band - alternating knit and purl stitches: 1×1, 2×2. This gives it elasticity.

To determine the number of loops for an elastic band, several methods are used:

1. You need to knit a sample of 20 loops. By measuring, they find out how many loops make up 1 cm. For example, there are 3 loops per 1 cm, and the width of the wrist is 16 cm. Multiply 16 by 3 and get 48 loops.
2. Wrap the wrist with a thread for work and increase it 3 times. Loops are made from the resulting length.

Knitting tools should have the same number of loops.

Cast on 48 sts. Knit the first row of stitches face and back. Distribute 12 stitches onto the knitting needles and connect: tie the remaining tail and knitting thread. This place marks the beginning of a new row. You can mark it with a pin. This is how the serial number of the knitting needle is accurately determined; this is important for further work.

Stitch knitting technique

Patterns for knitting mittens, patterns with descriptions of which can be found on the Internet, will seem complicated to novice craftswomen. Therefore, it is optimal for them to start working with something simple - knitting loops in stockinette stitch.

Knitting the thumb hole

The place for the finger is done like this:

1. Determine which knitting needle the finger will be on: for one hand - on the third, for the other - on the fourth.
2. Knit the first loop, then after 10 stitches thread the thread and tie. Immediately add the missing 10 stitches with yarn overs and knit the remaining stitch.
3. Do the same when knitting the left mitten on the corresponding tool.

Creating a toe

To create a toe, start cutting the loops. On the first and third knitting needles, knit two of them at the beginning of the row, on the second and fourth - at the end.
Decrease every three rows until 8 stitches remain. All loops are tightened with thread and hidden on the back side.

Thumb knitting

To knit a finger, loops are collected onto the working tool, and the missing ones are added from the edge. They are divided into 3 parts, and the fourth is used.
Knit with knit stitches to the middle of the nail plate, and then begin to decrease 2 loops on each tool until all is left. They are pulled together with a thread, which is secured on the wrong side.

Knitting mittens with an openwork pattern - description and patterns for beginners

Patterns for mittens with knitting needles, diagrams with descriptions of the craftswoman are collected into collections, using every opportunity: master classes, educational literature, Internet opportunities. They vary in degree of difficulty. A beginning needlewoman will choose a suitable pattern for developing her knitting skills.

You can start improving your craft by using threads of different colors. Take balls of different colors. The result will be striped mittens. Colors can be bright and contrasting for children's mittens. Using stripes of the same color, but in different shades, you get a more sophisticated option.

On the Internet you can find and use patterns for knitting using the jacquard method. In this case, patterns of various themes are knitted with a thread of a contrasting color. The mittens turn out to be dense, since the threads are intertwined on the wrong side, creating an additional layer.

The complexity of openwork patterns lies in the fact that the work requires constant counting of the number of loops.

After all, the beauty of the pattern is created by adding them using yarn over loops and decreasing them by knitting 2 or 3 loops together. In this case, the number of loops remains unchanged. One mistake leads to distortion of the product.

Many websites offer diagrams describing patterns for knitting mittens. When knitting with stockinette stitch is completely mastered, you can move on to using simple patterns. They are knitted after making the elastic on the upper side of the mitten, that is, knit stitches are knitted on the palm.

Pattern No. 1. "Pigtails"

Even a beginner can master a simple pattern of braids:

Pattern No. 2. "Royal braid"

This pattern is more complex than the previous one. Its difference is that the loops are swapped, first leaving some of the loops in front of the work, then behind. It turns out that the braid sometimes diverges in different directions, then converges.
In this pattern there are only loops knitted in the front way. The loops are swapped after 5 rows. The pattern requires 22 loops.

Pattern No. 3. "Lacy Hearts"

This pattern is a test of possibilities for a beginning craftswoman.

The outline of the hearts is obtained thanks to the holes from the knitted air loops:

1. For one heart you need 13 loops if it is a large pattern, and 11 for a small one.
2. Divide the loops equally, knit half, make a slip loop and then two loops together so that their number does not change.
3. In the next row, the slip stitch is knitted at the back.
4. In odd rows, two yarn over rows are made, and next to each other two are made together.
5. Between them, increase the number of loops to 5.
6. This is done in rows 3, 5, 7. At 9 p.m. there will already be three caps and 3 rubles. two together.
7. At 11 p.m. - four caps, and between them 2 times three together. Then the drawing is repeated.

Pattern No. 4. "Stars"

You can use a simple pattern that will decorate children's mittens.

An asterisk is knitted from three loops:

• first three loops together,
• then cap,
• knit these three loops again.

They are arranged depending on the number of loops in a checkerboard pattern. Between the stars there are loops knitted in front.

Pattern No. 5 “Bumps”

The pattern is simple to perform and consists of knitting from one loop 3. Then the fabric is turned and these additional loops are purled. Return the knitting and shorten the loops by knitting them together.
Place the drawing as you wish. It is good for both children's products and youth mittens.

Down mittens

Patterns for knitting mittens, thanks to the many patterns with descriptions, can be selected as desired.

In severe frosts, mittens made from down yarn will help protect your hands from the cold. Products made from down are comfortable, warm, and lightweight. To create down thread, they use the wool of a special breed of goats, which is grown in Russia in three regions: Volgograd, Orenburg and Altai.

Special technology makes it possible to obtain a thin and at the same time durable thread, from which craftswomen create things of amazing beauty.

Properties of fluff

Goat fluff is completely natural. The beneficial effects of down fiber on the human body have been noticed since ancient times. Its healing properties are used when nursing premature babies. To do this, babies are wrapped in down scarves, which retain heat. Elderly people are saved from radiculitis, osteochondrosis and arthrosis with the help of products made from down yarn.

For colds, alcohol compresses are replaced with a bandage made from a down scarf.

Products made from down not only retain heat, but also remove excess moisture. In downy mittens, socks, and hats, the body will always be dry. The hypoallergenic property of goat down is used in the manufacture of children's clothes. Down mittens have increased wear resistance. Dirt practically does not stick to them. Proper care will allow them to remain in excellent condition for a long time.

Choosing a knitting technique using down yarn

Mittens made from down yarn are knitted using hosiery knitting needles (set of five) using the circular method. The products are warm, soft, light and durable. The thin fluffy thread lies smoothly and is pleasant to work with. The upper part of the mitten is decorated with braids, plaits, and openwork patterns. Openwork fantasies do not at all reduce the warmth of the product. Therefore, the possibilities for knitters are endless.

Pattern “Lacy leaves”

The pattern requires 22 loops. The pattern diagram is designed for an attentive craftswoman. Counting the number of loops is the key to success.
The pattern is obtained thanks to the holes from knitting yarn overs, made using the knit stitch method, and rearranging two knit stitches. They diverge to the right and left of the central purl loop.

Pattern "Convolvulus"

A pattern consisting of unusual flagella will look good on downy mittens. The harness itself is an alternation of loops knitted knit and purl. Every 10 rows there is a crossing on one side to the right, on the other to the left: first the front stitches are knitted, then the purl stitches.

There are a great variety of patterns for knitting mittens. Schemes with descriptions will not be immediately clear. Perseverance and desire will help you overcome difficulties.

Yarn color selection

Natural down yarn has different colors: white, gray, black. Products made from white thread are the most spectacular. Modern designers believe that down toiletries go well with fashionable clothes. A set of a hat, scarf and white mittens will make a girl irresistible.

Men's mittens

In cold weather, men will not refuse warm mittens knitted by the hands of their beloved woman. They are indispensable during walks in the park, skiing in the forest, or at the skating rink.

When creating men's mittens, the same methods are used as when knitting women's and children's products:

• choose the yarn and the desired number of knitting needles;
• make the necessary measurements;
• start knitting with an elastic band, which should not be short;
• knit the main part until the hole for the thumb is formed;
• continue knitting until the stitches begin to decrease;
• create a toe;
• knit the thumb.

When choosing the color of yarn, you need to take into account the man’s preferences: black, blue, gray, brown, bottle, khaki. To decorate the top of a warm pair, all kinds of relief patterns are used: plaits, braids.

Schemes describing patterns for knitting mittens are not always suitable for men's products. You can use the “Pearl” pattern, which represents an alternation of front and back loops: if in the first row they are knitted from the front side, then in the next row in its place they are knitted from the backside. This is a simple drawing, but it looks decent.

Knitting is one of the ancient types of needlework, but its popularity not only does not fall, but only grows every year. The imagination of knitters knows no bounds. The desire to make a knitted item special and unique is understood among connoisseurs of hand knitting.
