How to knit cute mittens “Winter's Tale”? A lesson on knitting winter mittens from acrylic on knitting needles, with a detailed description of steps and photos
In winter time they are simply necessarymittens that will protect delicate baby skin from the effects of the external environment. Since mittens are a kind of accessory to a person's clothing, they can be knitted a little differently, that is, choose different patterns and complement the product with some decoration. To make such mittens, acrylic of two colors is taken, one of them with a shiny thread, which gives the mittens an interesting and very beautiful look. Acrylic itself is very soft and not prickly, and knitting in two threads makes the mittens much warmer. Small roses made of satin ribbon will be used as decoration.
In order to bind mittens, the following materials will be required:
- White acrylic
- Blue acrylic with a shiny thread
- Turquoise yarn
- Hook No. 3
- Knitting needles
- Red Satin Ribbon
- Turquoise Satin Ribbon
- Scissors
- Pin
- Glue gun
Operating procedure
Cast on 8 stitches using 4 double-pointed needles.Knit in a circle with face loops. This is necessary to make it convenient to knit the pattern. If you start knitting it right away, then difficulties will arise due to tight loops, and after knitting they become weaker.Next, you need to knit an elastic band for the mitten, thenThere are rows 3-18 knitted by alternating 2 front and 2 back loops. The elastic band turns out to be long and this is how it should be, at the end of knitting it will tuck in, which will give the mittens a beautiful appearance. In addition, such an elastic band turns out to be dense and fits well to the hand. The length of the elastic band of these mittens is 5.5 cm.
So, in the 19th row the turquoise thread changes towhite and blue acrylic, that is, knitting in two threads. The turquoise thread can be cut off, it is no longer useful. Using a hook, remove the piece of thread. This row must be knitted with face loops.
The outer side of the mitten will be knitted with airpattern, and the inner one is the front surface. To do this, you need to knit two knitting needles with a pattern, and the other two with front loops. The two knitting needles of the 20th row are knitted like this: 1 front loop, 2 front, 1 out., 3 front, 1 out., 3 front, 1 out., 2 front, 1 front, the other two knitting needles are knitted with front loops.
Row 21: 1 knit, 1 purl, 3 knit, 1 purl, 3 knit., 1 out., 3 persons., 1 out., 1 persons, the other two needles are knitted with face loops. Knit rows 22, 24, 26, 28 similarly to row 20. And knit 23, 25, 27, 29 similarly to row 21.
In the 30th row on the front surface, pick up on a pin5 loops (this is needed for knitting the thumb). Now we knit in one and the other direction, that is, not in a circle. After the pin, knit the pattern similar to row 21, and the other two knitting needles are knitted with face loops.
Row 31:knit two knitting needles with purl loops, and knit the pattern by alternating front and back loops. Row 32: knit the knitting needles with front loops, and knit the pattern by alternating front and back loops. Knit rows 33, 35 similarly to row 31, and 34, 36 - similarly to row 32. Reach the pin. In row 37, pick up 5 new loops. Divide the loops into an equal number, that is, there should be 8 loops on each knitting needle.
Knit the row similar to row 20. 38, 40, 42,44, 46, 48, 50, 52 – similar to row 21, and 39, 41, 43,45, 47, 49, 51, 53 – similar to row 20.
Rows 54, 56, 58: remove the loops onto two knitting needles. At the beginning and at the end of the knitting needle, knit two loops together. And knit the pattern similarly to row 21.
Rows 55, 57, 59: similar to row 20, and don't forget to knit two loops together at the end and at the beginning of each needle. Rows 60-61: knit two together until one loop remains.
Now you need to tie the thumb, forcast on 5 loops on all 4 knitting needles. Knit in a circle and at the end of knitting reduce the loops by knitting two loops together. The thumb is knitted with the front surface, as it is on the inside, which is also knitted with the front surface. The length of the thumb is about 4 cm.
The second mitten is knitted using the same pattern, onlyThe space for the thumb must be left on the mirror side. The length of the mitten together with the elastic band is 17 cm. Cut off the excess threads and remove them with a hook. Turn up the elastic band of the mittens.
To decorate the mittens you need to makered satin ribbon rose, by placing the ribbons on top of each other. Make small petals from turquoise ribbon. You will need one rose for each mitten and 3 petals for each rose.
Glue the roses and petals usingglue gun to the mittens. The glue dries quickly, 5-10 minutes. Roses can be sewn on with threads if desired. You can also decorate the mittens at your discretion, these can be various beads or seed beads, or flowers or other elements knitted from yarn. If the child is not allergic to natural wool, then the mittens can be knitted from it. As you know, wool is very warm and perfectly warms the baby's hands in the cold period of time. The mittens are ready!
