Astra Mittens

The Astra Mittens are part of the beautiful Astra-series, which also includes a cowl and a headband. The series is inspired by traditional Fair Isle and Norwegian knitting patterns, but reinterpreted with a modern touch that makes the design both timeless and elegant. The set is knitted in our ultra-soft and luxurious Önling No 1, a high-quality yarn that gives your knitwear an exclusive finish and makes it wonderfully comfortable to wear, perfect for cold winter days.

Designed by Inge-Lis Holst for Önling.

Recommended circular needles 
size 3,5 and 4 mm / US 4 and 6, in 60 or 80 cm / 24 or 32 inches length (we use the magic loop method for knitting small circumferences)

Gauge 24 sts and 28 rows in stockinette stitch on 4 mm / US 6 needles = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in

Procedure
The mittens are worked in the round, starting from the wrist and worked toward the fingers. They are knitted using the magic loop method, but can of course be knitted on double-pointed needles if preferred.
Begin with a ribbed cuff. Then continue following the chart across the hand, placing stitches for the thumb and knitting the thumb gusset.
After finishing the thumb gusset, the stitches for the thumb are placed on hold, while the rest of the mitten are worked following the chart up to the top of the mitten. Slip the thumb stitches onto a needle, pick up and knit additional stitches around the opening, and finish working the thumb.
