Well, the most difficult task in this matter is to choose from dozens of beautiful schemes exactly the one that you like the most.
Schemes and description of knitting mitts with knitting needles
To understand in more detail the specifics of knitting mitts with knitting needles, consider different ways of working on them, and apply several schemes and descriptions of the execution of mitts for adults and children. But first, find out how to knit your first mitts - Schemes with a description for beginners will help in this.
Master class for beginners
In order to learn how to knit mitts with knitting needles for beginners, a master class in knitting mitts with knitting needing is useful. Consider a step-by-step version of knitting mitts with a wedge under the thumb, which are knitted on five knitting needles. For beginner knitters, it is better to knit the mitts for yourself first, so that at any time you can try on the product and, if necessary, correct the number of loops.
At the very beginning, we measure the girth of the thumb and the girth of the palm of the hand above the thumb. We consider the density of knitting and the required number of loops for the initial set for the circumference of the forearm (the number is rounded by a multiple of four).
Materials
- yarn "Natasha" (95% wool and 5% acrylic, 250m in 100 grams);
- knitting needles number 2.5.
For example, the cuffs fit on 44 loops, with a transition of 40 loops to the palm. The number of loops is adjustable according to the parameters.
Working process
On two knitted needles together, we collect in the usual way the required number of loops. After the 44th loop, the fixing “tail” is tied with the main thread in a knot.
Next, we knit with an elastic band 1 × 1 according to a simple pattern: 1 front, 1 wrong side. In order to make the circular pattern look good, and the pattern is not distorted diagonally, we knit the front and back loops in the classic way - by the front wall.
Having knitted 11 loops, we leave this knitting needle and take another. We knit another 11 loops. Thus, when we get to the end of the row, we will have 4 busy knitting needles, each of which has 11 stitches. And the fifth spoke is free, working.
The numbering of the needles is made starting from the one on which we knit the stitches first. It’s easy to recognize it - there was a “tail” of thread from a set of loops.
We knit an elastic band 1x1 to a height of about 5 cm. At the junction of the first and last (No. 4) knitting needles, an ugly place is obtained (photo 1).It is masked with a hook and thread from the “tail” from a set of loops, which is stored at the very beginning after tying. This is how this area looks after camouflage (photo 2).
When we knit in a circle, we see the front of the thing in front of us and quite easily we can observe the pattern. After 5 cm of elastic, we need to go to the main drawing and reduce the number of loops to forty.
On the needles No. 1 and No. 2 we will have the upper part of the mitts, and on the needles No. 3 and No. 4 - the lower. The bottom, the one on the back of the hand, is knitted only with the front. And for the top you can take a simple double rice pattern.
The first row after the elastic on the knitting needles is knitted only with the front ones, moreover, the last 2 loops on each spoke are knitted together. Thus, the number of loops is reduced to forty, and now 10 loops on the knitting needles.
Further on knitting needle 1 knit 2 facial in a row - this touched the future "wedge". The drawing itself is also an alternation of “1 front - 1 wrong side”, but with an offset in rows. In two rows - loops one above the other, then a row: above the front - the wrong side, above the wrong - the front. A row - again according to the drawing above each other, and again an offset.
Knitted 3-4 rows, and proceed to the "wedge". Its base is the second loop on the spoke number 1. In the row where we begin to increase, we knit the first loop, make a crochet, knit a second, and another crochet.
- type of yarn used further. They should be such that when knitting in the next row in their place did not form a hole. Since we knit with classic facial, the crochets will look like the one shown in the figure.
Next we knit according to the drawing. On the next row we knit the yarn over the front, now on the first knitting needle we have two more stitches. Another row according to the drawing, and then again adding - on the first spoke we knit the first loop, then the crochet, we knit three loops (those that formed during the first increase + the one that forms the basis of the “wedge”) and another crochet.
This is a general wedge-knitting pattern. All the “wedge” loops here are facial. We always add through an equal number of rows. After two more rows between the yarn, there will be 5 loops, then 7 loops. We will stop here, because 16 loops are enough for the thumb. 7 stitches + 2 yarn = 9 stitches. The remaining 7 we then pick from the edges of knitting (photo 1).
Then we knit, no longer adding any yarn and periodically trying on. We reach the base of the thumb. Here we need a large safety pin.
We knit the first loop of knitting needle number 1, which is not included in our increments. By the way, we started the “wedge” with the second loop so that between the knitting needles No. 1 and No. 4 holes from stretched loops would not form. Then we remove 9 loops included in the “wedge” on the pin, and on the working knitting needle, on which one knitted loop hangs, we add 4 loops with crochets (photo 2).
It is 4 loops, because it is necessary to add half of the shot, to round down.
In this case, nakida is best done using air loops, as in the figure. Then we knit according to the drawing, we knit the yarn over the front (photo 1).
And in the next row we knit these loops two together. It was 4, it became 2. And in total on our knitting needle No. 1 after removing the “wedge” on the pin, it was 10 - 1 (the base of the “wedge”) + 4 = 13. After tying the loops over the pin together: 13 - 2 = 11. So , in the next row at about the same place, you need to knit 2 more loops as one to return to the 10 original loops.
We knit further and try on. Again, go to the gum (photo 2).
Next, we knit an elastic band 1 × 1, without adding or decreasing anything. When the elastic is the right size, you can close the loop.
On the mitts, the loops can be closed with a pigtail. We returned after the next row to spoke number 1. We knit the first loop (we have the front one). The second, wrong side, is also knitted, and then we stretch under the first. The first rests on top, and the second remains on the working spoke. And further on as in the drawing. The edge is beautiful.
We cut the thread with a margin and fix it with a hook. Back to our thumb. One part we already have is 9 loops on a pin. Along the edges of the finger hole, we evenly dial another 7 loops - a total of 16. The “tail” from this set should remain inside the mitts. You can immediately fix it between already connected loops, or you can first knit a row of fingers to understand where the gaps remain. It is very convenient to close them with this “tail”. We distribute 4 loops on the same 4 knitting needles and knit the front ones. Enough 5-6 rows (photo 1). Then go to the 1x1 elastic band, knit several rows, and close the same way as the main part (photo 2). The mitten is ready.
The right mitten will differ from the left one in that the upper part will fall on knitting needles No. 3 and No. 4, and the penultimate loop on the knitting needle No. 4 will be the basis of the “wedge”.

Knitting patterns
Openwork pattern
Knit in a circle with knitting needles No. 3.5 according to the pattern. The diagram shows only even (resp., Persons.) Rows. In odd rows, knit loops and crochets. In the wrong rows, knit loops and crochets on the wrong side.
Row sequence
Run 2 times from the 1st to the 8th p., 1 time from the 9th to the 46th p. and 3 times from the 47th to the 54th p.
In the rows from the 1st to the 8th and from the 47th to the 54th, start with loops before rapport 1, repeat rapport 1, end with loops after rapport 1.
In the ranks from 9th to 46th repeat rapport 2.
Knitting density
24 p. X 38 p. = 10 x 10 cm, knitted with an openwork pattern with knitting needles No. 3.5.
Important make sure that the density of your knitting matches the specified one (if necessary, change the number of knitting needles).
Working process
On knitting needles No. 3.5, freely type in 2 threads (take one end of the thread from the outside, the other from the inside of the ball) 48 p. Loops should be distributed over 4 knitting needles (12 p. Each) and be closed in a ring. 2 p. knit double thread facial.
Continue the work with a single thread with an openwork pattern, performing rows in the specified sequence.
In the 36th p. split the main loop pattern for the thumb hole between the 1st and 4th knitting needles. Here on both sides add 1 chrome. and knit, continuing the pattern, to the rows in the forward and reverse directions.
Run from the 37th to the 54th p. and chrome added. hinges close.
Next, knit again in a circle and 2 times to perform from the 47th to the 54th p. In conclusion, 2 p. Knit with double thread and loops freely close.
