Stylish men’s stockinette mitts with knitting needles, are considered an important wardrobe item for cold weather. Accessories made from natural wool will provide warmth and comfort to your hands.
How to knit men’s stockinette mitts
Men’s mitts are knitted with five knitting needles using stockinette stitch. For the cuff, 2×2 elastic was used. The V-shaped thumb gives an optimal fit.
After forming the wedge and separating the thumb, the beginning of the row is shifted by 6 loops. This technique allows you to knit absolutely identical interchangeable mitts using one pattern.
The mitts are long enough to completely cover the top of the fingers, with each finger knitted separately for maximum comfort.
