Thrummed Mittens Knitting PatternDesigned by Corinne Morrison-Morton
This thrummed mitten knitting pattern fits a woman's medium sized hand. You can adjust the size by adding or subtracting 1 inch to the final length of the mitten. The mittens are plump and lightweight!
Thrum pieces should be pulled (not cut) about 3-4 inches in length. Each piece will be doubled. The two ends should meet in the middle, then slightly twist them together then add to the stitch.
