With the onset of frosty and cold days, you want to warm up as much as possible: put on warm clothes, do not forget about a hat and scarf, hide your palms in mittens or mittens, gloves. You can knit unusual mittens with knitting needles with your own hands, the patterns and descriptions of their manufacture are simple and accessible, therefore even inexperienced knitters are able to cope with this task.
With the onset of frosty and cold days, you want to warm up as much as possible
Knitting mittens for those craftswomen who have long held knitting needles in their hands is a familiar and ordinary thing: most of them do this work mechanically, without thinking about the sequence of actions. For beginners to knit, such work will seem a little difficult, but fascinating and interesting. Schemes and a description of the process, how to tie a beautifully simple product will help you do the job correctly, efficiently and in an original way.
- In order for the mittens to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand, not to squeeze your fingers or hand, you should start by determining the size. To do this, the brush is drawn on paper along the outer contour and the size of the product is calculated, as well as how many loops will need to be dialed for a certain size of the product.
- 48 loops are simultaneously cast on two knitting needles, after which one knitting needle is carefully removed and the entire amount is distributed into 4 equal parts (12 loops each) on different knitting needles. A marker is attached to the working loop so as not to subsequently lose the beginning of the circular row.
- Further knitting of the cuff with knitting needles is done with an elastic band, after which a few centimeters of the front surface will fit.
- 8 loops from the first knitting needle are removed on a safety pin, they gain the same number of loops to continue working. Knit in stockinette stitch to the end of the little finger, after which they begin to evenly decrease the loops, the last 8 loops are knitted loop into loop.
- To the 8 previously removed loops, the same number of additional loops are collected and distributed over 4 knitting needles. From the dialed amount, the thumb is knitted, the last pair of loops is knitted together with the front one.
Knitting mittens for those craftswomen who have long held knitting needles in their hands is a familiar and ordinary thing.
The instruction for making mittens for inexperienced needlewomen provides for the manufacture of the product with front stitch, as these are the simplest mittens, which can then be painted at your discretion.
Beautiful knitted mittens with a pattern
Products connected with a beautiful pattern look original. Such mittens can not be additionally decorated, as by themselves they look elegant and exclusive. Beautiful knitting of such a product is in itself simple, it is important to follow the step-by-step instructions.
- To start work, they collect 40 loops, evenly distribute them on 4 knitting needles and close them in a circle.
- Next, we knit according to the scheme, openwork leaves will emerge. On row 41, slip 6 sts onto safety pin for thumb hole and continue knitting, picking up 5 sts for balance.
- Having knitted all the rows according to the scheme, they close the work and proceed to knitting the thumb, distributing 12 loops on 4 knitting needles. 15 rows are knitted with front stitch, after which 2 loops are knitted simultaneously on each knitting needle until the end.
The product on the second hand is knitted in the same way, in a symmetrical reflection.
Knitting mittens with braids: step by step instructions
Warm and original braided mittens can be knitted following a simple instruction and without deviating from the standard pattern. You can make this product from thick coarse yarn, you can make the product thin and light.
- 52 loops are cast on a pair of knitting needles and work with a double elastic band 20 rows in a circle. In the last row add two loops.
- Starting from the 10th row, the finger is knitted gradually until 20 extra loops are formed. They are put on a pin and continue knitting according to the pattern.
- To knit a finger, knit the desired length, then connect 1 and 2 together at the same time with facial knitting, in the last row, 2 loops of the front. At the end, the remaining loops are pulled together.
The right mitten is knitted according to the symmetrical analogy of the left.
Knitted mittens with ornament
You can make men's or women's mittens with an ornament with your own hands from any yarn, but it is advisable to use white or gray threads for the base. Men will also prefer a black base, diluted with a gray ornament.
The pattern can be made with any thread of a contrasting color.
- 48 loops are cast on a pair of knitting needles, after which they are distributed over 3 knitting needles (16 loops for each).
- Knit 4 rows with a double elastic band, after which a colored thread is introduced and a couple of rows are knitted. This sequence is repeated one more time. Then the cuff is ready.
- Knit four rows with a single-color thread using the front surface method, go to the ornament.
- For an ornament, the loops are redistributed in half and 24 loops are knitted according to the pattern. Having reached the second mark of the scheme, the number of loops begins to be reduced by 2 on both sides. So gradually close all the loops.
- They return to knitting fingers, which is carried out according to the standard scheme.
If you strictly follow the pattern of the ornament, then the mittens are cool and very creative.
Kids Winter Mitten Ideas
For adults and children's winter mittens, the idea of owlet mittens is considered quite a fashionable modern trend. They can be made long and shorter, in the form of tunnels and solid, plain and two-color.
For such an accessory for a girl, it is worth preparing in advance not only knitting needles and yarn, but also beads for owls, and jewelry that the little princess would prefer.
- 32 loops are cast on the knitting needles, which are subsequently distributed on 4 knitting needles.
- The first 10 rows are knitted with an elastic band using double loops, the 11th row is knitted with front stitch.
- In the 12th row, a pair of loops from broaches is added, the next rows up to 18 inclusive, are knitted.
- The bird is knitted from the 19th row: on the first two knitting needles, facial knitting, on 3 and 4 - 4 facial on 6 purl and 6 facial on 4 purl.
- 21 row: on 1 knitting needle all front loops, on 2 remove 2 front loops, 6 loops for the thumb are removed on the pin, on the third and fourth knitting needles - 4 front, 2 purl, 4 front.
- From 22 to 24 rows, the algorithm is repeated, but without removing the loops for the thumb.
- From the 25th to the 31st row it is knitted according to the following principle: on the 1st and 2nd knitting needles, on the 3rd and 4th - 4 facial, 2 purl, 4 facial.
- From 31 to 41 rows on the first and second invariably facial loops, on the third - 4 purl and 6 facial, on the fourth - 6 purl and 4 facial.
After the 38th row, the loops decrease, 2 loops are knitted at each end at the same time. The loops are reduced to 8 pieces, which are then pulled together with a special needle. After finishing, the finger is tied in the standard way. To complete the work, small beads are sewn onto the places for the peephole.

Cheerful mittens will delight lovers on Valentine's Day, little children will wear them with pleasure. A master class on making such fun winter accessories for women and children provides other options for knitting attractive characters.
Knitting warm and beautiful children's mittens with knitting needles is quite simple. To do this, you need to master the elementary techniques of knitting. There are two knitting patterns - on two and five knitting needles. It is easier to knit on two, but when knitting on five, the product turns out neater, without seams. First you need to know the dimensions. Four will be enough - the volume of the brush, the height of the thumb, the length and width of the child's palm. For convenience, you can circle the child’s hand with a pencil on a piece of paper - this will be a pattern. You also need to know the density of knitting. Cast on 10 stitches and knit several rows. Next, count - how many loops and rows in 1 cm of knitted fabric.
Material and tools:
- yarn - wool or wool mixture 30-50 g, depending on the thickness and length of the thread.
- knitting needles - a toe set of five pieces, No. 2.5 or No. 3 - diameter in mm, it must correspond to the thickness of the yarn. Usually, the recommended needle number is written on the packaging of yarn;
- pin - ordinary, about 4 cm long;
- needle - with a large eye, gypsy.
Knitting mittens on two knitting needles
For a mitten, 40 loops are cast on a three-year-old child. Knit with an elastic band 1X1 (1 front, 1 wrong) 3-4 cm, and then stocking stitch 1.5-2 cm. In the center of the fabric, one loop is added in four rows - this is necessary to expand under the thumb. Then they are removed from the knitting needle and put on the pin the central 14 loops. The remaining 30 pieces are knitted with an open cloth, without interrupting the threads to the end of the little finger in stocking stitch. The toe of the mitten is knitted, making a steep descent: one loop on each side of the mitten, from the side of the little finger and index finger. To do this, the extreme two extreme loops of each row and in the center of the fabric are knitted one together. The latter is pulled inward and fixed with a needle. You can knit the fabric of the mitten according to a two-part pattern - then this will have to be done from two different balls.
A thumb is knitted - the loops removed on a pin are knitted with facial ones - about 3 cm. For a smooth rounding in the last two rows, a decrease is made - every two is knitted with one. Leave the long end of the thread - they sew up the side of the finger.
The product is turned inside out, and the side of the mitten is sewn with a needle with a buttonhole seam.
It is worth saying that knitting mittens for children is a great pleasure, because this thing is always in sight, and it is nice to knit something warm for the baby. Choose bright threads for mittens, with a minimum amount of fluff so that the fluff does not remain on the baby's palms. The thickness of the thread can be very different - both excessively dense and less dense. The most important thing is that the mitten is warm. In the meantime, mom is knitting, the child can be occupied
We knit warm mittens
So, how to knit mittens for children? What do we need for this?
We will need:
- hook
- five spokes
- two skeins of colored yarn
- scissors
- a needle threaded with a neutral thread
knitting process
1. To start knitting mittens for children - we will need to take measurements from the hand of the little one - this is done in order to determine the size of knitting. We take a centimeter in our hands and measure the length from the thumb of the crumbs to the tip of his little finger, and you also need to measure the length from the base of the peanut's hand to the base of his thumb.
2. So, we will knit mittens for children with knitting needles. Where to start? First you need to tie the elastic bands on the cuffs. For a two-year-old peanut, forty loops should be cast on the knitting needles. After that, we need to divide our forty loops into four knitting needles - that is, there should be ten loops on each knitting needle.
3. Now we need to connect all the knitting needles with the existing loops into a circle. Take a free loop, and using it, knit one front loop - this way you will connect the first and last of your knitting needles.
4. And what should be done next to knit mittens for a child, knitted with knitting needles? We need to tie an elastic band. The scheme will be as follows: four by two. That is, at first we knit four facial loops, and then two purl loops. In the same way, you need to repeat the pattern to the last loop in a circle. Sometimes it happens that the pattern at the end of the row on the last needle does not converge. This is an insignificant point - the pattern will not spoil it.
5. We continue to knit mittens for kids with knitting needles. It is worth saying that, given the size of the peanut's hand, you can experiment with the length of the elastic band. However, if the elastic is long enough, then it will fit much closer to the peanut's brush. Yes, and putting on such mittens for a baby will be easier, since the elastic band will be wide.
6. Now we need to knit the main pattern. The main pattern is knitted from facial loops. It is necessary to knit facial loops until the length of the pattern reaches the level of the base of the baby's thumb. Now we need to make a hole into which the thumb will stick through.
7.
Two facial loops should be knitted, and after that, a thread of a contrasting shade should be strung on the next seven loops. After that, knit the remaining loops with facial ones - and so on until the end of the row. When you reach the loops with a contrasting thread, you will need to turn the knitting over and knit the front loops again in the opposite direction. The same steps should be repeated again. We should get a little lift.
8. After that, we need to dial seven loops on the same knitting needle. Using a free knitting needle, we need to attach these loops to our main knitting. After that, the front loops should be knitted in a circle without any changes. There should be a hole. It is necessary to knit a pattern until the length of our knitting reaches the tip of the little finger of the baby.
9. Our next task is to reduce the loops. This is done so that the edges of our mittens are neat - for this, the edges should be reduced exclusively along the opposite edges and knitted into a “pigtail”. We think that after you master the technique of knitting mittens for your child, it will not be difficult for you at all.
Knitting "pigtails"
How to tie this "pigtail"? We need to knit the first two 
sts together on the first needle on the inside of the children's mittens (where the finger hole is located). Do the same with the last two stitches on the second needle. Similar actions should be performed on the back of the mittens. We should knit until only one or two loops remain on the knitting needles. Now take the hook and pull the thread through all our loops, then tighten it tightly, and very carefully hide the tip of the thread inside our mittens.
Now we need to tie the thumb. For this purpose, you need to take a knitting needle and string seven loops on it. You also need to take one loop located at the corners of the holes - so that there are no holes. The upper side of the mitten has no loops - that is, they can be strung in any order. The finger is knitted in the same way as the main part of the mitten.
It is believed that all women know how to knit, and if not with a big thing, then with a small one, they must cope. For example, with a scarf or mittens. It is from this wardrobe item that it is often advised to start learning for beginners in knitting. But for beginner knitters, knitting on knitting needles in the round often becomes a problem. We suggest that you first try knitting mittens for children using a simple flat layout on two knitting needles.
Our master class with a detailed description will help you make the first pair and understand the principle, and then calmly knit on 4-5 knitting needles in a circle, without additional stitching of the product.
We knit warm mittens on 2 knitting needles for children of any age
Mittens are always knitted starting from the wrist, and it is very important to initially cast on the correct number of loops so that later you do not dissolve the product and do not redo the work. We present you a table for loop calculations. You only need to measure the circumference of the child's wrist with a centimeter.
This table is suitable for any of the ways of knitting mittens.
You will knit according to this layout, referring to the description of the work.
1). First, knit 10 rows of elastic according to the scheme 1 purl loop, 2 facial loops, etc.
2). Then comes 7 rows of facial loops.
3). In the middle of the next row, add 1 loop for the expansion of the thumb and repeat the same on the next three rows.
4). Separate the thumb loops from the palm loops. If you check the diagram, there should be 13 of them, but make an even number - 14. These loops remain on the knitting needles, and the rest are removed on a thread.
5). Knit the entire length of the thumb with facial loops, knit all the loops 2 together for the last 2 rows and pull the remaining loops into one at the end. With this thread of yarn, sew the finger on the side.
6). Now, returning all the loops from the thread to the knitting needles, knit the front loops in a straight line. And, before you close your palm, narrow it according to the scheme.
7). Close the last row in the usual way. But first, all the remaining loops are put on one knitting needle, alternating 1 loop of the front and back sides of the mittens. Then knit 2 loops together, return the resulting loop to the needle, then 3 together, received back and so on until the end of the row.
8). You can decorate the mitten with embroidery, felt appliqué or, as here, with a crocheted snowflake.
9). Sew the side seam. If desired, you can also add a fleece lining.
We are trying to make beautiful mittens on 4 knitting needles (or on 2 circular ones)
In this example, a little more complicated, it is shown how to knit mittens for children on circular or toe knitting needles No. 2.5. However, the scheme is also not complicated and is suitable for beginners.
1). Approximately for a three-year-old child, you need to dial 32 loops and tie 16 rows of elastic (1 front, 1 purl loops).
2). The next rows - facial loops. If you want to make a strip on the product with yarn of a contrasting color, then knit 3 rows with such yarn (you can not break the initial thread, and then stretch it on the wrong side). Knit another 5 rows with the base color yarn.
3). Begin to tie a hole for the thumb of the right hand. To do this, knit 2 loops with facial ones, and remove the next 6 loops on a knitting needle, or more conveniently on a large pin, and finish the row with facial ones.
4). So knit 15 rows with the main color (break it off) and 4 with an additional one. Try on a mitten, it should be long enough to the tip of the little finger, if not, knit a couple more rows.
5). Distribute the loops on 2 knitting needles in half and knit on each, but in a circle with a decrease: 2 sang on each side of each row (through the circle). That is, in one row the number of loops is reduced by 4 pieces, in the next it remains unchanged. Alternate rows until you have 10 stitches on each needle. For the next few rows, remove 2 loops in each front row. And as soon as there are 10 pieces left, knit like this: 2 together, 1 front, 2 together, 1 front. Collect the last 6 loops by pulling a thread through them and tighten.
6). Pull out your thumb. Transfer the loops from the pin to the knitting needles and knit the yarn of the additional color in a circle for 13 rows, then 2 together a couple of rows and tighten the tip of the thread. Bring all the ends of the threads to the wrong side.
The left mitten is knitted symmetrically. You can embroider a pattern with yarn.
The photo shows a pattern of a moth for embroidery with a loop stitch.
Master class on knitting bright mittens on 2 circular knitting needles
This method is unusual. It was invented either by very impatient people who want to immediately knit both mittens without wasting time, or very pedantic and accurate people who are afraid that the second mitten will not turn out to be an exact copy of the first. Be that as it may, there is such a way. You need to prepare and rewind the yarn into two balls. It is not very convenient to look at the details of this method in the photo, so we included a master class with a detailed description in the video selection.
Video on the topic of the article
By learning how to knit mittens for children and watching the video, you can make such mittens for adults.
Cheerful and unusual muzzles of the Woof kitten on mittens always bring smiles. Children will never lose such warm and cute mittens, because they will not part with their soft friends for anything. Also in the image gallery there are many jacquard patterns for knitting mittens with cats.
Description of knitting mittens with a kitten:
Since the embroidery involves 41-42 loops vertically, these mittens are suitable for a large palm - a teenager or even an adult.
Knit mittens from white yarn with a simple stocking stitch. From the cuff it is better to knit double (two layers, for warmth), and the cuff itself - with a double thread.
For convenience, it is better to knit on two knitting needles. To get started, look at the size chart to understand how many loops to dial for work.
For work you will need:
- Yarn wool 100% or wool with mohair - 70-80 grams, in 2-3 threads, depending on the thickness of the yarn.
- Spokes 2.5.
- 10 grams of blue, black, light gray and dark gray yarn.
- Needle.
- Pins.
We measure the length of the palm, the girth of the wrist, the length of the thumb.
We take a wrist 19 cm. Our knitting will look something like this: Right mitten.
We start knitting with the LEFT mittens.
But with the difference that we knit a mitten from two halves (upper part and palm), gaining 36 loops on the knitting needles from below. Therefore, the whole mitten will be when we sew it - 72 loops. Our pattern is dense, you need to knit tightly so that the mittens are warm.
We start with an elastic band 2/2 or take a more complicated pattern, “braids”.
Top part
We knit the upper part of the mittens. Cast on 36 stitches.
The width of the pattern is 27 loops, the height is 43 loops. Therefore, from the beginning of the row, knit 7 loops in the main color, 3 loops in dark gray and further along the pattern. We knit to the end of the little finger (about 14 cm). Next, we knit with the main fabric with a “braid” pattern. We begin to decrease the loops. On each side, knit 2 loops together in the front row. You should get a beautiful triangular toe. If you don't like triangular, you can make the toe round. To do this, knit through 1 loop 2 loops together. What is left, pull off at the end and sew up.
The most difficult thing here is to untie the finger. We collect 36 loops and knit cuffs, as in the upper part. Next, we knit with facial viscous (1st row - facial, 2nd row - purl, 3rd - faces., And so on). Determine where your thumb begins. Approximately 6-7 cm from the beginning of the facial knitting. Approximately 17 rows. We stopped on the front side of knitting, 26 persons. loops, remove 8 loops on a pin, 2 facial loops. The next row of purl we reach the pin and cast on 8 loops (as at the beginning of knitting, we cast on loops).
Next, knit as the top. Finished and returned to the finger. We remove 8 loops from the pin, we collect 2 loops on the sides and 8 loops on top (in the figure with a red thread). We got 20 loops for the finger. Evenly distributed on 3 knitting needles and knit to the base of the nail. Decrease: divide into 4 parts and knit 2 loops together in each row. Finished finger, remove the thread inside out. We sew both halves. A cat scarf can be knitted separately and sewn on, or done as in the diagram.
