This class, we will begin by working the body of the mitten, placing stitches on hold for the thumb, and closing the top of the mitten with the kitchener stitch, or a simple drawing up of stitches, your choice.
We will then learn the method for picking up thumb stitches and knitting the thumb stitches without creating those large gapin holes that are such a common frustration with mittens.
Students should be able to complete one mitten by the close of the class, and will have learned the skills to finish the second mitten at home.
This is a fun, quick pattern. You will be able to to knock out a few more pairs for holiday gifts!
