MIttens-Adult

Home spun yarn (blue) -Color A
Fun fur yarn (cream) -Color B
Angel Hair yarn (grey) -Color C
Size 6 knitting needles
I used the yarn that was left over from making the scarf to make the mittens so I did not buy any additional yarn

CO 12 in color A

Row 1: knit 2, purl 2 (repeat pattern until end of row)
Row 2-8 Repeat row 1, so you have a nice ribbed effect for the cuff of the mitten

Row 9: In color B knit row inc in the first and last st knitting all stiches between

Row 10: Purl

Row 11- : Repeat rows 9&10 until you have 22 st on needles, end on inc row, don't purl yet

Purl 10, place stitch marker on needle, purl 2, place stitch marker on needles, purl rest of row

Knit 10, move st marker, inc 1 in the nxt 2 sts, move st marker, knit 10
Purl

Knit 10, move st marker, k1, inc 1 in nxt 2 sts, k1, move st marker, knit 10 Purl 10 (move to stitch holder), remove st marker, p6, remove st marker, slip last sts onto a different st holder

*You should have 6sts on your needles with those stitches you are going to Knit row, Purl row until it is long enough to encase your thumb.  I did a total of 6 rows.

Decrease on the 7th row by k2tog, k1, k2tog, k1
Thread yarn through remaining stitches, and sew up the side seam of the thumb.

From the second stitch holder, purl all stitches back onto the needle, the add on the stitches from the next needle holder by purling them all onto the needles.  It should look like the picture above, when all the stitches are back on the needles.
