Gloves-mittens with a folding top. How to knit men's, children's, women's with knitting needles, crochet. Schemes

Content

Mittens or mittens with a folding top have been popular at different times due to their convenience. The history of the appearance of this type of mittens is not reliably known, but according to one version, they were invented for sellers in markets. When it is inconvenient to work in mittens or gloves, and without them, hands freeze.

How to determine the size

Mittens can be knitted with a flap if you measure the size of your palm accurately. To do this, take measurements from it. In this process, it is not enough to transfer the outline of the palm to paper, although this is also necessary to clarify the pattern of the mitten.

It is recommended that beginning craftswomen pay special attention to measurements so that the size of the mittens fits exactly.

Fold-over mittens. How to knit men's, children's, women's knitting needles, crochet — Fold-over mittens

The following materials will be required for this work:

Medium-thick yarn to make the top piece of the product from 2 threads. Choose thick and warm yarn for the cold season. It is recommended to use 100% acrylic threads or with the addition of wool. For a pair of mittens, you will need 1-2 skeins of 140 g.
Double pointed needles (5 units), matching the thickness of the thread. The needles should match the thickness of the yarn: for thick thread, the needle size is 4-4.5 mm, for thin thread - 2.5 mm needles.
A needle for gathering all the parts of the mittens together.
Buttons or other decorative details at your discretion. The button is sewn on for the convenience of fixing the folding cap on the back of the mitten. A loop is sewn on the cap.

Before you start knitting mittens, take measurements from your palm and make a pattern. All measurements are taken on a relaxed hand. All data is recorded with an addition of 0.5 cm so that the resulting mittens are not too tight.

Step by step measurements:

The palm is outlined with a pencil or pen on paper.
Measure the circumference of the wrist.
Measure the volume of the palm at its widest part (circumference).
Measure the length from the wrist to the base of the thumb.
Length from the beginning of the little finger to the wrist.
Length from the beginning of the index finger to the wrist.
The maximum height of the palm. To do this, measure the length from the beginning of the middle finger to the wrist.
Additionally, the total length of the folding cap is measured.

The obtained measurements are used to create a mitten pattern to make the knitting process easier and faster. All maximum values are marked on the diagram to correctly determine the size and know the exact number of loops and rows required. A trial sample of the mitten is created, where 2 loops equal 1 cm.

The gloves consist of three parts: the main part, the folding part and the fingers. They start by knitting the base, then form the tubes for the fingers, and finally make the flap. Then all the components are sewn together and fixing details or decoration are added.

When knitting, it is recommended to control the uniform density of the fabric so that all fragments of the product are symmetrical. Pay special attention to the part with the folding cap. This part should be the tightest, fit tightly to the fingers so that the product retains heat.

Those who do not have enough experience in knitting mittens are recommended to try to make mittens with light-colored knitting needles. If dark-colored yarn is used, the loops are difficult to distinguish, which is why craftswomen can get confused in the pattern.

Men's

Fold-over mittens are also called transformers. Many men find this model practical for work, winter hobbies or everyday life.

During the production of the product you will need:

knitting needles (size 3);
50 g wool yarn.

They create a pattern on the product using threads of different colors or knit with single-color yarn. The elastic band is made in the process according to the 1*1 pattern.

The process of creating mittens includes the following steps:

Stage	Description
Cuff	Cast on 44 stitches in 2 additions, distribute them into 11 pieces on 4 knitting needles and close the ring from them. The cuff is made by knitting 24 rows.
Main part	Reduce one stitch on each knitting needle (160 stitches remain on all needles) and continue with the front surface. The first two needles are for the outer part of the product, the remaining two are for the inner part. Mark the thumb opening on the outer 2 loops of the last knitting needle. Expand the opening by adding 1 loop (take 1 crossed loop from the drawstrings) on both sides of the marked loops. Repeat this algorithm 6 times in 3 rows. Knit 21 rows. Transfer 16 loops from the wedge to an additional knitting needle or pin. Make a transition - pick up 2 more loops and add them to the circular knitting. Knit 11 rows. Then on the first 2 knitting needles, all loops are knitted purlwise to mark the place where they will be connected to the folding part of the mitten. On the remaining 2 knitting needles, all loops are knitted facewise.
Fingers	Knit the loops on the first 2 knitting needles, but do not touch the last 4 loops (the outer part of the mitten). For the little finger, knit the last 4 loops on the 2nd knitting needle, the first 4 loops on the 3rd knitting needle, and add 4 loops on the 4th knitting needle. These loops are around the circumference of the elastic band between 3 knitting needles. Knit 10 rows and close the loops. Form the ring finger - knit 5 loops on the outer part, make a set of 3 loops from the transition to the little finger, knit 5 loops on the inner part and again pick up 3 loops for the transition. Knit 12 rows with these 16 loops. For the middle finger, repeat the pattern from point 3, but knit 14 rows. For the index finger, knit 14 rows on the remaining 12 loops and add 4 more loops from the transition. For the thumb, 2 loops are added from the transition to the 16 loops that were set aside. Knit 5.5 cm. Then, 2 loops are knitted together at a time. When 8 loops remain, they are pulled together with a thread.
Upper part	Make a set of 20 loops. From the purl row of the upper part of the mitten, cast on another 20 loops. Place all the loops on all the knitting needles and join them together in a circle. Knit 4 rows on the first 2 knitting needles with a rib pattern (the inner part of the product). Knit 4 rows on the 3rd and 4th knitting needles with the front surface. Knit another 16 rows in stockinette stitch. Knit 1 loop and knit together the next 2 loops on the 1st and 3rd needles. Knit the 2 penultimate loops together on the 2nd and 4th needles. Repeat this algorithm 5 times every even row. Knit 1 loop and knit 3 loops together on the 1st and 3rd needles. Knit the penultimate 3 loops together on the 2nd and 4th needles. Repeat this algorithm every even row. When there are 8 loops left, they are pulled together with a thread. The entire process is repeated for the 2nd mitten.

Children's

Before you start knitting children's mittens, choose yarn, knitting needles for it and a suitable pattern. Carefully measure the parameters of the child's hand. It is also important to specify the knitting density, because each craftswoman knits in her own way.

To do this, dial 10 trial loops and knit 2-3 rows. Compare how many loops in the finished fabric fit into 1 cm. Children's knitted items require less yarn than adults, but also take into account the pattern.

Mittens with a muzzle

Fold-over mittens for kids can be made with an animal face design on the outside of the mitten.

During the work you will need:

yarn;
nicknames for animal images;
knitting needles that match the size of the yarn;
buttons for fixing the upper part of the glove.

The formation of mittens includes the following steps:

Stage	Description
Main fragment	1. Make a knitting sample to determine the density. Knit loops in 5-10 rows. Then determine the size of the product. 2. Knit the elastic band according to the 1*1 pattern. Cast on the calculated number of loops and knit in a circular elastic band. When you reach the wrist line, knit another similar fragment for the fold. 3. Continue knitting in a circular pattern. The number of loops remains the same up to the base of the thumb. It is not knitted at this stage. For convenience, the place where it will be knitted is marked with a contrasting thread. 4. Continue knitting the pattern according to the previous algorithm to the base of the index finger. From this point, begin dividing into 4 tubes. All fingers are knitted separately, adding several loops in different places so that holes do not form in the pattern. The tubes for the fingers are not finished, the loops are closed. It is recommended to use an elastic method of closing loops in a row.
Folding fragment	1. Cast on stitches for the flap section – its length is equal to the volume of the palm. Without changing the number of stitches, knit this section with a double thread (for additional warmth) using a 1*1 elastic band. Continue like this for the entire length. 2. 2 cm before the end, start decreasing 5 loops in a row. Do this not on the sides, but selectively, to avoid a sharp narrowing. 3. In the last row, tighten all the loops into a knot and hide the remaining threads.
Ears on the flap	1. Cast on as many stitches as you want (you determine the number yourself – it should be enough for a child’s finger). 2. Knit 2 ears 4 rows in a row. 3. Reduce the number of loops 3 rows in a row, tighten the remaining loops together. 4. Each fragment is sewn to the base of the folding cap.
Thumb	1. Remove the contrasting thread from the main part of the mitten. This leaves a notch for the thumb. 2. Cast on stitches along the edge of the notch and knit the length in a circular pattern with the front surface. 3. Close the loops as you did in the main part of the mitten.
Decor	1. To create an applique on the flap fragment, go over the loops on the upper fragment of the mitten with a black thread. This method prevents the formation of extra threads on the inside of the mitten. The thread depicts the nose and antennae. 2. A button is sewn onto the outer side of the main part of the mitten, and a loop is attached to the narrow part of the folding part.

Classic model

The standard version of children's mittens according to this pattern is designed for the hands of a child of 5-6 years. If you are making a knitting pattern for a child of a different age, then select the size yourself according to the pattern indicated above. The knitting step is 10 * 10 cm - 20 loops per 27 rows.

When knitting, use:

acrylic threads of 2 colors – 290 m per 100 g;
5 knitting needles (size 2.5).

The knitting process includes the following steps:

Using yarn of one color, make a set of 40 loops and divide into 4 parts.
Knit the cuff with a 1*1 elastic pattern to a height of 6 cm.
Create a pattern by knitting 26 rows of stocking stitch.
After 3 cm, form a finger: make 2 loops on the main knitting needle, transfer 8 loops to the auxiliary one. In the next row, these 8 loops are added back.
After 13 cm from the elastic, remove 20 loops onto a separate knitting needle. Pick up these loops over the remaining ones, connecting them into a pattern.
After 3 cm, knit 2 loops at the end of all the needles. Continue to reduce to 4 loops on each needle. Tighten them, cut the thread.
From the finger edge, cast on 12 stitches with yarn of a different color, knit them with the 8 stitches that were previously left on the auxiliary knitting needle.
Narrow the finger where the nail is approximately located - decrease the loops as described in the main part of the mitten.
On the outside of the mitten, at the cut, cast on 20 loops and knit an elastic band according to the 1*1 pattern, keeping a distance of approximately 1.5 cm.
The second mitten is made in the same way.

Women's

Gloves-mittens with a folding top and open fingers are made on 4 knitting needles.

If desired, yarn of different colors can be used to create a pattern on the product or to mark with lines the stages of transition to the level of the little finger, the thumb or the transition area to the flap. If using a single-color yarn, these sections can be marked with chalk or a pin.

The process of creating transforming gloves includes the following steps:

Stage	Description
Main part	1. Cast on 36 stitches in the classic way, distribute them onto 4 knitting needles, forming a circle. 2. Knit the elastic band according to the pattern 1*1. Knit the cuff with an elastic band for 5-7 cm. If you need a longer sleeve, extend the knitting. 3. Cast on a loop on each knitting needle and knit 3 rows in stockinette stitch. 4. Make a notch for the thumb. For the right mitten, place the loop at the beginning of the 1st knitting needle, for the left mitten – at the end of the 4th knitting needle. 5. Knit 3 rows with the front surface. 6. In another row add a loop, knit 3 loops, yarn over. 7. Repeat point 5. 8. In the next row, make a yarn over, knit 5 loops, yarn over. 9. Repeat point 5. 10. In the next row, make a yarn over, knit 7 loops and a yarn over. 11. Using the same algorithm, create a notch for the thumb to the end. 12. Transfer 11 loops to a separate knitting needle or pin and divide in half. 13. Reduce the stitches to the level of the little finger – knit together the outer stitches on the last and first knitting needles.
Fingers	1. Knit all the loops on the 1st needle, 6 on the 2nd. Transfer 4 loops from the 2nd needle to a separate needle, 6 loops from the 3rd needle. Make an air set of 3 loops (you get a little finger). 2. Knit 3 rows in a circle. 3. Remove 4, 11 and 6 loops onto separate needles, creating the remaining fingers. 4. Place the remaining 11 loops on 3 knitting needles and add 4 air loops. Knit the finger in a circle for 2-3 cm. Make the last row with an elastic band and close the row. 5. Add a thread from the inside. Remove the loops from a separate knitting needle and make 3 air loops. Place the loops on all the knitting needles and knit the finger in the same way as in step 4. Repeat the knitting pattern for the remaining fingers.
Convertible top	1. Turn the mitten over to the outside and cast on 25 stitches in the designated place. 2. Make a side loop, turn the mitten from the bottom up and knit with purl rows. 3. Connect 2 knitting needles and cast on another 25 stitches (51 stitches in total) 4. The loops from the mitten are knitted with a stocking stitch, the steel ones - with a rib. All the loops in the 1st row of the rib are turned over before knitting so that the edge is even. 5. Knit 5 rows and reduce the number of loops by knitting 2 loops together in all subsequent rows. 6. Connect the fold-over parts of the mitten.
Thumb	1. Tie the thread to the notch and cast on 6 loops. 2. Transfer the stitches from individual knitting needles to the main needles. 3. Knit rows of the desired length for the finger. 4. Reduce the loops evenly and tighten the edge.

How to crochet

Fold-over mittens can be made not only with knitting needles - craftswomen can make this product with a crochet hook to give the mittens an openwork look. This method is suitable for beginners, provided that the pattern is followed.

The process will require:

yarn 50 g and 30 g per 200 m (acrylic 100%);
hook (size 3);
buttons.

If you make mittens in one color, then use 80-100 g of yarn of one color.

The process of creating transforming mittens includes the following stages:

Stage	Description
Back side	Cast on 32 chain stitches and knit them from both sides in columns without making a yarn over. In the last loop, tie 3 columns at once, without making a yarn over (to knit the product from the back side). Knit 12 rows in the forward and reverse direction. In each row, add 2 columns three times.
The outer side	Cast on 6 air loops and knit up to the 12th row in the same way as on the back side. The 12th row is knitted in a circle. In the corners, form 1 column. Cast on 26 air loops for the base of the palm. Knit 13 stitches in one direction and 4 in the other.
Fingers	Half of the thumb is made in row 5. For this, 14 columns are knitted. Then make a sequence of 7 air loops of 8 rows, knitting straight and reverse rows. Cut the thread. To form the second half of the finger, connect the thread to the last loop (of 7), knit 7 columns and the next 12 columns from the main fragment of the mitten. Knit 7 rows in a direct and reverse way. In the final row, the first 7 stitches are connected to the initial 7 stitches during knitting.
Layout	The parts are connected with posts. Make a buttonhole by casting on 15 chain stitches. The outer mitten is knitted with a rib pattern 2*2. Knit a row with a column, alternating 2 rows. Knit 3 rows in this way. The bottom of the mitten is knitted with the same elastic band in 10 rows. The upper part of the finger and the lower part of the elastic band are knitted with columns. The button is sewn onto the outside of the mitten.

Knit mittens with a folding top using knitting needles or a crochet hook of different sizes and models. Before starting to work on creating a knitted product, take measurements to accurately determine the size.

In addition to the pattern, it is important to make a trial sample of the design to determine the knitting density. After that, they begin knitting the mittens, which can be with or without fingers, plain or in a colored version.
