I love how these mittens turned out. They are supposed to be for the gift exchange for G's work Christmas party. Although I am very tempted to keep them for myself I have decided that either I make sure I leave the party with them, or I'll have to make myself a pair!.
For the thumb:
You'll have 19 sts on a holder when you finish the hand. Tranfer these sts onto 3 dpns. Pick up 3 sts where the thumb joins the hand. Arrange the stitches so you have 8, 8, 6 stitches on your 3 dpns, the first stitch should be a knit stitch. Knit 15 rounds in k1tbl, p1 ribbing.
Decrease round 1: [k3tog through the back of the loops (k3togtbl), p1] 5 times, k1tbl, p1, 12 sts.
Decrease round 2: [k3togtbl, p1] 3 times, 6 sts
Break yarn and thread end into a darning needle. Pass the needle through each of the remaining sts and pull tight. Weave in ends.
Thanks to Eunny for the inspiration!

SO pretty!! They will be a wonderful gift, for sure.
Your mitts turned out beautifully! The tag attached is great! Did you make it yourself also?
Yes, Tam, I did make the tag, too. I printed the text I wanted onto a piece of cardstock and cut it out in a mitten shape.
Cute! Wherever they end up, they will be much loved.
