Right mitten:
Cast on 40 st and distribute over the 4 needles of the needle set (10 st per needle) and close to the rd.
k 11 cm (= 26 rd.) in the cuff pattern, then continue working in Stockinette stitch. For the thumb hole in the 4th rd. after cuff pattern, knit 1 st ri twisted from the horizontal yarn before and after the second st of the 1st needle. Rep. these increases another 4 x i. e. 2nd rd. before and after the last increased st. There is now 20 st on the first needle (the 11 st after the 1st st are the hole stitches), now k another 1 rd. without increases.
In the following rd. (= 14th rd. from the start of Stockinette stitch), leave the 11 hole stitches and cast on 3 new st over these for the thumb bridge. Continue to knit in rd., in the process excessively k tog. these 3 bridge stitches ri in the following 3rd rd. (= sl. 1 st ri, k tog. 2 st ri, pull slipped st over this) (= 40 st).
At a height of 16.5 cm (= 40 rd.) from the start of Stockinette stitch, work on the tip. At the start of the 1st and 3rd needles, decr. as follows: k 1 st ri, sl. 1 st ri, k 1 st ri, pull slipped st over this. At the end of the 2nd and 4th needles, k tog. the two penultimate st ri, k last st ri. Rep. these decreases another 1 x in the following 2nd rd. and then i. e. rd., until there are 2 st on every needle (= 8 st). Sew these 8 st together with the current working thread.
Thumb: for the thumb, take another 5 st from the thumb bridge in addition to the 11 left-alone st (= 16 st) and distribute these st on three needles of the needle set and k approx. 5 cm (= 12 rd.) in Stockinette stitch in rd.. Then k the thumb tips as follows: * 1 st ri, k tog. 2 st ri, from * rep. another 4 x, 1 st ri (= 11 st). In the following rd., k tog. 5 x 2 st ri (= 6 st). Sew together these 6 st with the current working thread.
Left mitten: knit exactly the opposite.
i. e. begin with the increases for the thumb hole before and after the penultimate st of the 4th needle.
