Colorless Green Mitts Breed Furiously
I made these immediately after Fetching, but it's taken me a good long while to write this up. I made up this pattern sitting bored at school one day and I'm very happy with the results. I thought I would share it. It takes very little yarn, is quick, and could be a good gift knit. so, here ya go:

  • How to make gloves. Green Mitts - Step 1
    Step 1

    CO 44 sts an join rnd, careful not to twist
    R1: (p1, k4) 4 times. p1. work in 1x1 rib, starting with a knit st, to the end of the round. Repeat this rnd 1 more time.

    R3: ( p1,C4B, p1, k4) 2x. p1. work in 1x1 rib, starting with a knit st, to the end of the round.
    R4: work the same as rnd 1.

    R5: Work in cable panel pattern as follows:

    1: (p1, k4, p1, C4F) 2x. p1. work rest of round in stockinette.
    2: (p1, k4) 4 times. p1. work rest of round in stockinette.
    3: (p1, C4B, p1, k4) 2x. p1. work rest of round in stockinette.
    4: work same as round 2

    Repeat these 4 rounds until you're ready to place the thumb. for me, that was at 4 inches.

  • How to make gloves. Green Mitts - Step 2
    Step 2

    Thumb: For the right hand, work across the cable panel. K2. Using waste yarn, k7; slip these sts back to left needle and k them again using working yarn. Continue working the rest of the round in pattern.

    For the left hand, work the round you're on until 9 sts remain on the left needle. Using waste yarn, k7; slip these sts back to left needle and k them again using working yarn. K2.

    After setting up to make the thumb, work in pattern for another 2 inches and BO. Almost done!

    Finish the Thumb:
    Remove the waste yarn and place resulting live sts on two double-point needles. There will be 7 sts below the opening and 6 sts above. Attach yarn and k the 7 sts on lower needle; using a second needle, pick up and k 2 sts (I wrap the picked up sts. to help avoid holes) in the space between the upper and lower needle, k first 3 sts from upper needle; using a third needle, k remaining 3 sts from upper needle and pick up (and wrap, if desired) and k 2 sts in space between this needle and lower needle. 17 sts.
    K 4 rounds. BO and weave in ends.

    Ta Da!

    This is the first time I've ever written a pattern out, so please send me any corrections!
