Stitch patterns:
- Garter stitch

Left mitten

Cast on 40 sts and work garter st flat for 6 cm.

Divide the sts onto four needles and continue in the round. The beginning of the round is between needles I and IV. Work 2 rounds in stockinette st. On the first round increase 1 st on each needle = 44 sts.

Begin the lace pattern and increases for the thumb gusset. Knit all sts until 4 sts remain on needle II. Make 1 (= using the left needle, knit the strand of yarn between the sts through the back loop), k2, make 1, k2. On needles III and IV, begin the lace pattern from 1 of the chart and work the 22 st pattern repeat. Continue working needles I and II in stockinette st and repeat the gusset increases on every 3rd round 5 more times (2 sts increased each time). Work rows 2-44 of the lace pattern on needles III and IV.

After the increases, work 1 round and then work the next round until you reach the gusset. Leave the 14 gusset sts on hold for the thumb.

Cast on 2 sts at the gusset and continue following the stitch patterns until you have worked approx. 16 cm after the ribbing or until the mitten covers your index finger.

Top decreases: k1, skp (= slip 1 knitwise, knit 1, and pass the slipped st over) at the beginning of needles I and III, and k2tog, k1 at the end of needles II and IV. Work the decreases every round until 8 sts remain. Break the yarn, pull it through the sts and securely weave in.

Thumb

Pick up and knit the sts on hold as well as 2 sts from the base of the thumb.

Divide these 16 sts onto three needles and work stockinette st in the round. When you have worked for 5 cm or until the mitten covers half your thumbnail, work the top decreases: k2tog at the end of each needle until 4 sts remain. Then work 1 st and pass the other sts over from left to right. Securely weave in.

Right mitten

Work as the mirror image of the left mitten. Work the lace pattern on needles I and II and the thumb gusset 2 sts from the start of needle III.

Finishing

Sew the cuff seams.

Using the bird's eye stitch technique, follow the drawing to embroider the details onto the lace pattern with the berry porridge and lichen yarns.

Steam the mittens lightly.
