Master class on knitting mittens for lovers

Mittens for lovers (the knitting pattern may differ in texture) differ in appearance and purpose - one large common mitten is knitted for both hands at once. The other two - taking into account the sizes of the hands of the guy and the girl.

The patterns indicate sizes for women's and men's hands, as well as a single size for a double mitten. You can knit from different materials, but wool or acrylic yarns are best.

In basic knitting techniques, it is important to choose a pattern that will be the basis for further interpretations of patterns and rapports.

In your work you need to have:

• wool, acrylic or mixed yarn 150 g/100 m with a composition of 35% wool, 15% alpaca and 50% acrylic;
• knitting needles No. 2 or No. 3;
• double pointed knitting needles No. 2.5-3.5;
• skeins of black, white, red flowers for the pattern;
• embroidery elements - optional.

The finished product can be supplemented with various appliques and patterns made of felt, decorative fabric, special threads and beads for embroidery. If you have a crochet pattern, you can knit a pattern separately and sew it to the surface of the mittens. The overall mitten can be made in a single color, or have different colors of cuffs.

The most beautiful is considered to be the jacquard pattern in the form of hearts and thematic designs.

1. You need to knit a large common mitten separately, as well as two separate ones, where each one will have 50 loops for 25 rows at the base.
2. Two mittens of the common mitten should be knitted with alternating threads according to the pattern. It can be selected separately for basic knitting patterns.
3. Two mittens also need to be sewn together using a special technique so that two cuffs have one mitten. To do this, remove 2 loops from each cuff, and then knit the front part of the mitten.
4. Next, you need to add two loops to the cuffs on both sides in each row. You need to knit 2 sts together until you have 54 sts.
5. When half is knitted, you need to transfer the product to 4 knitting needles.
6. Next, you need to knit each cuff in a circle using the front surface stitch.
7. Next, you need to decrease the stitches using the increase technique.
8. Having finished the height of the general mitten, you need to knit the remaining two.
9. For a women's mitten, cast on 44 stitches on #2.5 double-pointed needles.
10. The cuff should be 28 stitches long.
11. If different shades of yarn are used, the alternation in the pattern should match the pattern on the overall mitten.
12. After finishing knitting the elastic band of the cuffs, you should transfer the entire product to the lines of knitting needles No. 3.5.
13. Next, you need to knit two rows of front stitch, and then insert an additional thread to set the exit level for the thumb.
14. Next, you need to transfer the product back onto the knitting needles and knit all the rows.
15. After finishing, you need to thread the needles into the place where the thread is. Separately, you need to sew the rows for the thumb with the front surface up to the 6th row, then make decreases to the end of knitting.
16. The men's mitten is knitted in the same way as the women's. Separately, you need to knit the place for the thumb according to a different pattern, starting with joining an additional thread and knitting this part of the mitten first.

Once the product is finished, you can begin to design and decorate it as desired.

Models and designs of mittens

Mittens for lovers, the pattern for which can include patterns of varying complexity, are based on a single technique for creating cuffs. Since there are no separate cells for each finger, you can knit looser models that would fit a pair of hands clenched into a fist or “lock”.

At the same time, the mittens should be warm, comfortable and soft. There are several branded models with bright stylistic designs.

Selbuvotter design

Lover`s Mittens still remains a traditional themed brand for those who want to buy mittens with their signature logo. The company is famous for its unusual winter patterns and designs on mittens. Since it is almost impossible to buy such models without pre-ordering, many have managed to restore the pattern for the embodiment of the pattern on homemade mittens.

To work with these dimensions you will need:

• yarn 300 m for the main color of any density;
• colored yarn 190 m;
• circular knitting needles No. 3.5;
• tapestry needle;
• additional thread;
• Norwegian wool yarn - optional.

As a rule, such accessories were made from thick Norwegian yarn in black and white colors.

1. First you need to knit the base for 16 rows and the same number of loops.
2. The basic foundation is ready and has a 5*5 cm pattern.
3. For the jacquard pattern, you need to use the traditional Norwegian knitting technique - tight density, double thread, reinforced loop tightening.
4. Next, you need to pass the unused color along the loops of the back side so that the thread is not visible on the front side. If the pattern is too wide and the thread is long and catches on your fingers (in the future), you can intercept it every 3-5 loops so that it does not interfere with wearing the mittens.
5. To knit the cuff, you need to take smaller knitting needles and knit a 2*2 elastic band.
6. Next, you need to knit separate men's and women's mittens according to the pattern.

The mittens are ready, and the technique is distinguished by the ability to knit a completely single mitten without additional knitting needles. Norwegian patterns are simple for beginners and those who do not plan to constantly engage in such creativity.

“Malva” technique

It is important to calculate the yarn correctly here, as a complex design will be used. For a pair of women's mittens, you will need 70 g of yarn, for men's - 90 g. You need to start with the cuffs, moving from top to bottom. This technique allows you to make increases instead of decreases, and also knit loops on circular needles.

To work you will need:

• circular knitting needles;
• 5 separate knitting needles No. 3.5;
• 2*2 elastic pattern: to knit, you need to cast on 1 knit stitch and 1 purl stitch, or knit 2 knit stitches and 2 purl stitches.

While working, it is important to mark the needle numbers to avoid confusion.

1. First, you need to cast on the required number of stitches on both knitting needles at once, and then divide the total number by the width of the pattern into 4 equal parts.
2. Next, all 4 parts need to be cast on 4 knitting needles. The fifth will be the working one.
3. The row of loops must be closed into a circle and the ends must be knitted with simple front loops.
4. The threads need to be knitted and the ends hidden on the wrong side.
5. The cuffs need to be knitted to a height of 6-7 cm.
6. Then you need to add 1 knit stitch to each needle.
7. Then you need to knit the parts of the thumbs according to the pattern.

For the pattern you will need:

• white yarn, wool with down 80% goat and 20% wool;
• for the pattern 100% wool or semi-wool red color.

The pattern shows 4 excellent designs for one mitten, so it can be noted that different styles and models are used:

1. From the back the pattern looks complicated, from the palm side it looks simple. Therefore, first you need to knit 66 sts and divide them evenly for all 4 working needles after knitting the cuffs (already made).
2. Distribution on needles 17/16/16/17. Next you need to knit a double edge in 6 rows of persons. Ch.
3. On the 7th row you need to knit only the purl stitch.
4. From the 8th row, you need to knit the pattern next to the white thread so that the red one starts with a separate pattern on the side.
5. In the right mitten in the 9th row you need to mark the 33rd loop from the wrong side for the back side.
6. Next, you need to add 2 loops on both sides of one pattern to form the side stripes.
7. Then you need to knit 29 loops for the palm side of the pattern.
8. On needles 1 and 2 you need to knit patterns, moving to needles 3 and 4 to knit shading.
9. In the middle of knitting the “star” you need to make a drawstring for the pattern on 9 loops.
10. The non-working thread should also be pulled along the wrong side to the right, then check the tightening of the pattern.
11. Having knitted 32 loops up, you need to mark the loop for starting knitting the thumb. To do this, you need to knit the front sts on the main front part and the back side with knitting needles 1 and 2. The palm part needs to be knitted on the 3rd knitting needle in 13 rows, so that later you can return all the loops back to the 3rd knitting needle for knitting with an additional thread.
12. The rows need to be knitted to the end, and 36 rows need to be knitted upwards, after which 2 loop decreases need to be made immediately on both sides.
13. Next, you need to knit 4 loops in red along the 4 stripes on the first knitting needle.
14. Then one loop needs to be decreased with a leftward tilt - remove the 5th st, and knit the 6th st with a red thread through the 6th, and also knit the 7th st with a red thread.
15. On the second knitting needle, on a double red stripe, you need to make a decrease with a tilt to the right - knit the 7th loop with red thread, the next 2 loops also with red, and then the last 4 according to the pattern, as with a tilt to the left for a decrease.
16. On the palm part, make the same decreases - first to the left, then on the 4th strip with a tilt to the right.
17. Next, in each row, you need to make decreases in exactly the same way. Three loops in the center need to be knitted together in red, and 6 loops pulled together. The ends should be removed with a hook or needle to the wrong side of the mitten.
18. To knit a pallock, you need to cast on additional loops to maintain the pattern.
19. The extra thread needs to be removed, there will be 13 loops on the upper knitting needle, and 12 sts on the lower one. Then you need to cast on another 10 front sts and knit them along the edges of the holes.
20. All 36 loops need to be divided so that 15 loops remain for knitting a 4*4 pattern, and the remaining 4 loops need to be knitted evenly on both sides with red thread.
21. When the thumb is knitted to the middle of the rapport, you need to make decreases. The stripes of red thread should be knitted to the end of the row, and the decreases should be made with white yarn.

The edges of the mittens need to be hemmed, and the remaining threads should be secured on the back side. The second mitten for lovers should be knitted starting from the palm part, taking into account the place of the finger to preserve the pattern. In the same technique, you can knit the pattern "Stained Glass" or "Winter" depending on your mood. The patterns do not differ in the basic rapports, you can only replace the color of the yarn.

Design "New Year"

There are many such patterns and designs, but not all drawings are made using the same technique. The design is quite simple for beginners, but very popular among couples in love.

To work you will need:

• Regia Schachenmayr yarn in 6 threads 125 m/50 g;
• red thread 50 g;
• emerald yarn 50 g;
• blue yarn 50 g;
• knitting needles - 5 pieces No. 3-4.

The knitting density is 24 loops for 30 rows in a rapport of 10*10 cm in face stitch. The elastic can be knitted 1 through 2 or alternately, knitting 2 knit stitches with a purl stitch. In rows on circular needles, all loops are knitted in face stitch.

In forward and reverse knitting techniques the pattern used is knit stitches in knit rows, purl stitches in purl rows.

1. First, cast on 44 sts with colored thread on four knitting needles. 11 loops on each of them. Knit 10 cm with a 2*2 elastic band.
2. Next, mark the middle of the first circular row on the inside of the knitting.
3. Then you need to knit stitches with blue thread, but in the 1st circular row make an increase of 8 stitches evenly (52 stitches = 13 stitches on each knitting needle).
4. In the 3rd row, and also 4 times in every 2nd row, you need to add 1 knit stitch on the 1st and 3rd needles before the last loops.
5. Then on the 2nd and 4th needles make increases of 1 front st., so that there are 72 loops on 4 needles.
6. From the next circular row, you need to knit straight and back rows to form holes between the 1st and 2nd needles. Knit like this for another 10 cm.
7. Then you need to knit one row in a circle again, and after 11 cm from the elastic make a mark in the 9th loop. It needs to be knitted together with the 8th st. in face stitch.
8. The marked loop needs to be knitted together with the previous ones 7 more times to get 8 additional loops.
9. All loops should be pulled together with a double thread, and then the ends should be hidden on the wrong side.
10. Along the edge of the holes, you need to cast on 44 loops evenly with emerald thread and knit a 10 cm rapport in circular rows with a 2*2 elastic band.
11. If desired, you can decorate the product with embroidery, making a “loop in loop” stitch in the shape of a heart or the initials of lovers.

Mittens for lovers (pattern for rapports included) can be knitted using different sketches and models.

Also popular are “openwork braids”, which are knitted from thin wool yarn. It is appropriate to use the design “leaves”, “small braids” and “crossed braids” to obtain a more lush pattern in volume.

How to take measurements correctly

Despite the fact that the mittens have a free form of style, arbitrary design and a wide scope for imagination in terms of selecting a pattern, it is recommended to take measurements for more accurate calculations of yarn consumption and planning dense models of mittens.

To take measurements correctly, you need to know which values ​​are important for knitting mittens:

• It is important to measure the circumference of your wrist so that the cuff fits well and tightly on your wrist.
• The circumference along the line running from the index finger to the little finger, along the bones - the size allows you to set the width of the mittens.
• From the beginning of the wrist to the tip of the longest finger is the size (height) of the main part of the glove.
• The distance from the little finger to the hand sets the minimum height of the product.
• The length of the thumb from tip to base is how you can determine the height of the thumb increase.
• The distance from the thumb to the wrist when fully extended from the index finger will allow you to correctly calculate the wedge so that the fingers can move freely in the glove.

A properly constructed process of knitting a mitten involves such moments as taking measurements, setting the level of the thumb, knitting an elastic band and creating a pattern.

Mittens for lovers can be knitted using a standard pattern, and then decorated with decorative elements made of felt or similar materials. This merch, which can keep you warm, is considered the most attractive gift for Valentine's Day, New Year and Christmas.

It can also be complemented with a pattern of colored yarn, which will highlight the occasion and reason for the gift. A gift hinting at warmth will appeal not only to girls, but also to guys.
