Knitting kit for Log Cabin Mittens (Advent 2018) in Önling No 1
To all of us who think the worst thing about knitting mittens is to knit the thumbs in the end: Here we bring the ultimate solution: We start with them instead! When the thumbs are knitted, we build the mittens using the log-cabin pattern, which is fun, simple and incredibly good to swallow leftover yarn and time, in perfect harmony. You can try them on along the way and easily make them, so they fit exactly to your own hand.
This kit contains: Yarn for the selected size and color and a digital pattern
The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page. You will also receive an e-mail with a link to your pattern, and the pattern will be available here at the site via your personal account - so remember to create an account :-) Read more about digital knitting patterns here.

Procedure
First knit a thumb, and from there you build up the mittens in modules, in the colors of your choice, until the width of the hand is achieved. Then knit the edge at the bottom, the top of the mitten and finally knit them together along the outer edge. The two mittens cannot be knit as complete mirrored copies, but they are the same in size!
Please Note:
The price of the yarn kit is calculated based on the amount of yarn included, which is the amount we have used to knit the design according to the above measurements. Should you need more yarn, additional yarn can be purchased at regular prices by placing an order and state lot number in the comment box at checkout. All designs have been thoroughly calculated and tested.
ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a knitting kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In some cases, however, you will not receive a pattern as part of your order:
If you buy a Yarn kit, you will only receive yarn for the design in question. Yarn kits are only sold for selected designs from external designers, where we do not have the right to sell the pattern. When a kit is sold without pattern, you can always see it in the header, which will say (excl pattern) in the header.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- For a select, few designs from PetiteKnit, we will add a printed pattern to the parcel - but for most PetiteKnit designs, you will not receive a pattern, as they are mainly sold as yarn kits (excl pattern). In these cases you will always be able to see it in the header, where it says (excl pattern).
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
