More mittens

I finished a couple more pairs of mittens for the homeless in the last week.

Here are the patterns. The start and finish are the same for all. I don't follow a pattern cuz I've made mitts for many years so I hope they make sense.

Using 4 double pointed 5.5mm needles, cast on 36 stitches. *Knit 3, purl 1* to end for ribbing.

Pattern: Knit 3 rows. Fourth row: *knit 1, purl 3* to end. Repeat this combo 3 times. Put 6 stitches on a stitch holder for the thumb. Continue in pattern, casting on 6 stitches at the of the of row. Repeat pattern 7 times.

*Knit 4, knit 2 together* to end. Knit 2 rows. *Knit 2, knit 2 together* to end. Knit 1 row. *Knit 2 together* to end. Cast off (not bind off). Pull wool through inside.

Put the stitches from the stitch holder to a needle and knit. Pick up 9 stitches evenly around the thumb hole (so 15 stitches in total). Knit 13 rows. *Knit 2 together* to end. Cast off (not bind off). Pull wool through inside. Tie off and tuck the ends inside.
