Cast on 36 stitches. Divide between three double pointed needles (I used 5mm). Join together to knit in the round being careful not to twist the stitches.
*Knit one, purl one* (repeat) for 20 rows.
Knit the next row, increasing four stitches evenly (to 40 stitches total).
Knit nine more rows.
Increase one stitch lifting the stitch below onto the needle and knit into it, place a marker, knit 38 stitches, place a marker, increase one stitch lifting the stitch below onto the needle and knit into it. Knit the next row. Knit one stitch, increase one stitch lifting the stitch below onto the needle and knit into it, knit 38 stitches, increase one stitch lifting the stitch below onto the needle and knit into it, knit one stitch. Knit the next row. Continue until you have 10 stitches between the markers (this is the thumb). Put the 10 thumb stitches onto a stitch holder.
Knit the next row, casting on two stitches when you get to the end (to make up for the thumb stitches on the holder). Keep knitting around and around until you get to the top of your baby finger.
*Knit two stitches together, knit two stitches* (repeat) for a row.
Knit two rows.
*Knit two stitches together, knit one stitch* (repeat) for a row.
Knit a row.
*Knit two stitches together* (repeat) for a row.
Knit a row, pulling the yarn through each stitch as you go. Pull the yarn through the middle of the mitten when you get to the last stitch to tighten the top of the mitten.
Take the ten thumb stitches of the stitch holder and spread across three needles. Pick up five stitches around the thumb hole. Knit around and around until you get to the tip of your thumb.
*Knit two stitches together* (repeat) for a row.
Knit a row, pulling the yarn through each stitch as you go. Pull the yarn through the middle of the thumb when you get to the last stitch to tighten the top of the thumb.
