CONSTRUCTION
These fully lined mittens are worked in the round, starting from the cuff. They feature a wide gusset thumb and a pointed top. They are worked in two parts: the outer mitten is knitted first, then the inner mitten. The outer mittens are wider, allowing the inner layer to sit nicely inside.
The outer mittens are cast on at using the Cable Cast-On Method. Purl stitches are worked in a contrasting colour which creates coloured stripes throughout the mittens. Sizes 1 (2, 3) are made of 4 (5, 6) rounds of one contrasting colour before switching to the next one. This allows the mittens to keep the same colour scheme for all sizes with different hand lengths. Once the outer mitten is finished, stitches are picked up at the cast-on edge and the inner mitten is worked to create a lining.
