Kelley Petkun from Knit Picks talks about the basics of knitting mittens. Follow along and learn how to knit a pair of mittens! This video teaches you how to set up for an Afterthought Thumb.
thank you so much for doing this vid!! Ive been reading the pattern to how to knit a mitten and when i got to the thumb part i had to idea what to do with the yarn that was left behind, so i cut it. Yes it was little tricky afterwards but i got through it D: Anyways these vids are so helpfull!! thanks again :D
This is great! I am working a sweater where the entire body is worked and then the sleeves - the pattern calls for BO stitches, then the next row cast them back on again - what a pain! I will try this "afterthought' method instead. Can a person do an increase, if needed for other applications, in the holding yarn and be able to pick up the freed loops later when adding the appendage?
These videos are super helpful! I always seem to have trouble with the thumb gussets. I'm glad you're showing different ways to do them. And I'm really glad it's clear enough to understand.
It makes perfect sense! Thank you for this video. You are a wonderful teacher! Can't wait to try this.
