This is a worsted version of my previously published Bräcken convertible mitt design. This version also includes the addition of an afterthought thumb. A closed mitten version is also available. This glove is unique in that it is free of a thumb gusset. All shaping is done by utilizing the placement of the cables, which gives the gloves a snug fit.

Finished Measurements:

• Fingerless Glove: 7” long X 3.5” wide, laying flat

Sizing:

• Fits an average Medium hand size. (Note: You can accommodate a smaller sized hand by casting on a smaller number of stitches for the ribbed cuff and then increase to the number of stitches for the hand. The thumb stitches will also need to be decreased. I would be happy to help you with this. Just contact me for pattern support.

Skills required:

• Working simple 4-stitch cables: 2/2 RC & 2/2 LC

• Creating an afterthought thumb (explained in pattern, photo tutorial linked to.)

• PU&K increases for around thumb

• Tubular Cast On (video link provided) A longtail cast on can be substituted.

• Sewn Bind Off for 1x1 rib (video link provided) A regular bind off can be substituted.

• Reading from a chart. (Pattern also includes written instructions.)

• Wet Blocking over mitten blockers or cardboard
