OOOOOOOh finally I get it! I have been trying to figure out how the thumbs was done, and your photo totally helped. I kept visualizing it diffrently, and couldn’t grasp it. Thank you for the directions! now I can’t wait to start them!!!

This is a great pattern, how do you downsize it for kids? I’ve only made one pair so far and they are gigantic – big enough to fit my husband. I used a single string of the Light and Lofty yarn. It’s wonderfully soft and warm, but way too big for me or my 3 little girls.

I used an 18 peg loom and did a triple stitch, E wrap around for 3 times then lift bottom stitch over 2 top stitches. Also use a heavier yarn. This still makes an adult mitten but very thick, soft and warm. I haven’t been able to find a loom yet in a childs size.

I would love to figure these out but I can’t get it through my thick skull today. I understand the wrap back and forth on the thumb but I ended up with a big hole to close the thumb up! Help! Please!!!

These are my absolute favourite Knifty Knitter mittens. The one-loom design is simply brilliant! They make up easily and the thumb fits well. Thanks for posting this great pattern. My hands are small, so I used flat knit instead of e-wrap, and the mittens fit well and are quite warm.

Hi
Love the mittens.
May I translate the pattern into danish and put it on the danish googlegroup I have made?
http://groups.google.com/group/strikkkerings-hygge/
There are as far as I know, no patterns for the knitting looms in danish.

I found the one loom mitten pattern great. I also ordered a smaller loom only 4 inches across and have made kids mittens. I make them for the Opertion Christmas project in our area. Thanks.

Forgive me but I am a little confused about the thumb. I am at the point where I need to e-wrap the 6 pegs. I e-wrap them and what do I knit off with? I am new to this. Thanks.
Jennie Hesketh said,
April 28, 2008 at 9:11 am
Okay, I figured it out. The thumb is like a flat rectangle that forms a loop. When I have knitted enough rows that go around my thumb lengthwise, that last row will become “row 23 on the round.” Errrr…

Thanks!!

I am going to give this a try, I have not tried mittens yet, but I have made scarfs and hats, so I hope I can complete the set now.
Not sure of some of the terms, is there a knifty knitter for dummies?
I didn’t even do chain stitches right before this…
LOL

I am confused on the thumb. I do the row a Row b alternating but then how do I go back to finish the glove? DO I need to knit the thumb off, do I start Row 23 at peg 1 or peg 7? I am so confused. Then when I am finishing the glove do I gather stitch or crochet it closed. I need help!!!
Thanks in advance…..

YAY!! Thank you so much for saying that, it makes so much sense to my poor, addled brain now! LOL

Hi = LOVE!! this pattern but am having a problem understanding the instructions for the thumb. HOw does it get separated from the body of the mitten? Looking forward to hearing from you – got lots of Xmas presents to make. Thanks again!!

Love it…Love it!! I’m kinda new to Knifty Knitting and so far I’ve made hats (of course), scarves, slippers, and even a pair of boots. I’ve comb the net trying to find an easy pattern for mittens and this is IT! Just a question though, is there a way to make it smaller? I think I may have used the wrong yarn or something because it came out looking a bit like our oven mit (just too big is all). I don’t get the “worseted weight” thing because I’m new to yarn crafts all together. Thanks again though this is very easy!

Making the thumb piece and wrapping the 6 pegs as “Row A” and “Row B” is actually easy to figure out–it becomes obvious after you start doing it.
When you start the thumb piece, you ONLY wrap pegs 1-6, then you go backwards and wrap pegs 5-1 and knit off ONLY those 6 pegs. When you start wrapping again, you HAVE to start with peg 2, then you wrap to peg 6, and knit off the 6 pegs again. From peg 6, you go back the other way again, and you HAVE to start with peg 5–then you keep wrapping till you’re back to peg 1, and then knit THAT row off, etc., etc. Just keep repeating, going back and forth between pegs 1-6, until you have enough rows for your thumb piece.
Another thing about measuring the thumb: if you stick your hand through the top of the knifty knitter and put your thumb into the thumbpiece, you can sort of “eyeball” and feel for the right length of the rectangle piece, if you don’t want to count rows (I always seem to lose my place when I’m counting!) Whoever you’re making the mittens for can stick their own thumb in, of course.
When the thumb piece is finished, you start wrapping ALL 24 pegs again to make the rest of the mitten.
I’m pretty much a beginner with the round looms and it only took me about 15 minutes to figure this out. Great pattern, thanks for sharing it!

At the beginning of post #35, I meant to say:
“When you start the thumb piece, you ONLY wrap pegs 1-6, then you knit off ONLY pegs 1-6.”
(then continue with the rest of what I said in #35).

Ok, so I finished the mittens. I used a double strand for these: 1) Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky in “Charcoal,” and 2) Bernat Alpaca Natural Blend in “Ebony.” They are man-sized, and I do not have small hands. On the plus side, I can wear them OVER my thinsulate gloves, and the mittens are VERY warm.
But I believe for a woman’s pair in the future, I would use a 20-peg loom at either 5/8″ (for bulkier yarn) or 1/2″ gauge (for finer yarn).

how do i sew the the thumb i cant figure it out please help
Maggie said,

Tiffaney, do you mean “how do I sew the thumb shut after the mitten is done?”
If that is it: you need a tapestry needle with a big hole in it that you can thread a piece of your mitten yarn through. After the mitten is done, you turn the mitten inside out, thread the needle with a separate piece of your yarn, and just sew it up with sewing-type stitches.

for smaller mittens use chunkier yarn (Lion brand homespun?) and for toddler’s I heard use the 12 peg loom. I haven’t tried it yet. I plan to!

[...] I tried mittens. Well, a mitten, because I wasn’t sure it was going to work. I used a loom pattern since I thought it’d be easier than trying to learn how to knit [...]

ok, so I get your directions, really I do. But who is this supposed to fit? I mean it sure won’t fit anybody in my house. Any suggestions for making the wrist smaller. I’m going crazy trying to figure it out. I even bought a smaller loom, which is to big for my wrist but to tight for my hand.
