Bright mittens made of mink fluff with a “rice” pattern
Mittens from @vkaef_knit
We will need:
- mink down 350/50g or 175/50g
- knitting needles 3.5mm
- add. thread or pin
My density is 24p*35p per 10cm in 2 threads.
Description On 3.5 mm knitting needles, cast on 40 sts + 1 st. to join in a circle. I knit using the Magik Loop method. We distribute 20 stitches onto each knitting needle and begin knitting in circular rows.
- Row 1: *P1, k1, *thus we knit all 20 stitches on the first needle. On the second knitting needle we knit all the knit stitches.
- 2nd row: we knit all the songs according to the pattern.
- Row 3: *K1, P1, *knit all the stitches on the first needle. On the second - all facial ones.
- 4th row: all loops according to the pattern.
In this way we knit 24 rows of cuff (or 7cm).
You can knit a mitten cuff of any length, but don’t forget about pattern repeat.
We will knit the thumb with an Indian wedge. We begin to form it in the 25th row.
FORMING the thumb for the LEFT mitten:
- Row 25: knit the first knitting needle according to the pattern, i.e. *P1, k1* On the second knitting needle we knit the first 11 stitches and make an increase from the loop of the bottom row tilted to the RIGHT, hang a marker. In the future, all increases will be made BEFORE the marker THROUGH the row.
- 26r: we knit all the loops according to the pattern.
For comfort:
- 1st knitting needle - back side
- 2nd spoke-palm
- 27 r: back: “rice”; palm: 12 faces. increase with a slant to the right, MARKER, 9 faces.
- 28r.: all loops according to the drawing
- 29 rubles: back: “rice”; palm 13 faces. increase with a slant to the right, M, 9 faces
- RUR 30: all loops according to the pattern.
In this way we knit until there are 19 stitches in front of the marker. at 40 rub. on the back side all the loops are according to the pattern, on the side of the palm we knit 19 stitches. remove the marker, take the needle and remove 9 sts with additional thread. We make a crossed yarn over and join a circular row.
We continue knitting in a circle on the back side of the “rice”, on the side of the palm there are facial loops. We knit in height 10 cm or 36 rows. You can knit a different length, the guideline will be the hidden little finger)
DECREASES We make decreases in each row. At the beginning of the row, decrease with a tilt to the right, at the end of the row - with a tilt to the left or in a way convenient for you. It is better to make decreases in an odd row so that the “rice” pattern is not lost - row 37: back side 2p. knit stitch with a slant to the right, then follow the pattern to the last two stitches, purl 2 with a slant to the left. We continue to knit until there are 5 loops left on each knitting needle. We cut the thread, leaving a not very short tail, tighten it and tuck it in.
FINGER on the knitting needle with which the mitten itself was knitted, remove the loops from the extra. we raise 5 more loops of thread. Total on the knitting needles is 14 sts. We knit in height 7 cm (in this case, your length may differ from mine) so that the entire finger is hidden. Cast off 2 stitches together, without 7 stitches on the needles. Cut the thread, pull it through the remaining loops, and tighten. The finger is ready! hide the ends by turning the mitten inside out. ALL! The LEFT mitten is ready!!!
Shaping the thumb for the RIGHT mitten:
- 25 rubles,: back side of the mitten * purl 1, knit 1 *. On the side of the palm we knit the first 9 faces. loops, hang the Marker and make an increase from the loop of the bottom row with a slope to the LEFT. In the future, we will make all increases THRU the row after the Marker.
- 26 rubles, we knit all the loops according to the drawing.
We continue to knit with increases every other row until there are 19 stitches after the marker. at 40 rub. We knit the back side with a “rice” pattern. When moving to the side of the palm, we remove the first 9 loops for additional stitches. thread, make a crossed yarn over and knit in a circle (don’t forget about the pattern) 10cm or 36 rows.
We make decreases in the same way as the left mitten.
Finger : on the knitting needle we remove the loops from the extra. We cast on another 5 stitches and knit 7cm. We close 2 stitches together and tighten the thread. The RIGHT mitten is ready!!!

Two-layer mittens made of mink fluff – video MK
I present to your attention two-layer mittens made of mink fluff. The simplest ones, without an anatomical finger, without any tricks, so that you understand the very principle of calculations and can knit many other mittens based on them. In this video I do not show the inlaid edge for two mittens for a magic loop. This is not a step-by-step procedure, but a calculation principle for your mittens! ⠀Yarn - mink fluff 50 g 350 m, two threads from a skein, add one. Addi knitting needles 3.25. My density is 10 cm wide, 25 stitches, 10 cm high, 30 rows. ✅Take measurements from the palm. My palm circumference is 17.5 cm. Palm length is 15.5 cm. ⠀✅ We count 17.5 cm * 25 p./10 cm - 43.75 loops. For single-layer mittens, we reduce this figure. For two-layer ones, you can increase it or leave it as is, rounding up. The number of loops should be divided by 4. ⠀❗️One moment, I knit two mittens at once with a magic loop. You can knit them one at a time on toe knitting needles, but pay attention to the density and number of rows. ⠀How many stitches should you cast: we determine by the density of knitting on the needles you will knit with and the threads you will use for a palm of a certain size. ⠀✅I cast on openly using a hook and add 44 sts and knit the distance to the thumb. ⠀❗️And one more thing, here I show you the principle of calculating and knitting the most ordinary mittens without a wedge on the thumb, an Indian wedge, an anatomical finger, without patterns, arans and the like. The most ordinary ones, so that you understand the principle of calculation and, in general, how to knit these same mittens.
