How to knit a thumb gusset on a mitten
Keywords: circular needle, mittens,
In this DROPS video we show how to knit a thumb gusset as on many of our popular knitted gloves.
Below is a diagram of the entire mitten and a diagram of the thumb. We have knitted after the large chart to where we should start increasing for the thumb (the black squares in the large diagram). You will then knit by the large chart and the little diagram (thumb). When you have done all increases in thumb chart, put x-number of stitches (the number that is in the pattern) on a thread. Now cast on x-number of stitches (the number that is in the pattern) behind the thumb and now knit the mitten after the large chart. When finished knitted mitten, put sts from the thread back on needle, knit up x-number of stitches (the number that is in the pattern) behind the thumb and then work after the thumb chart.
You must read the pattern and look at the chart to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns by clicking on the pictures below.
The video above can be used in the following patterns

Hei Agneta. Hvilken oppskrift strikker du etter? Nå har du lagt ditt spørsmål under en generell video og for å hjelpe deg er det fint å vite hvilken oppskrift du strikker. Legg gjerne ditt spørsmål under selve oppskriften. mvh DROPS design 03.03.2021 - 11:15

The video is so clear. I always struggled to pick up for the thumbs as I was left with holes on either side. Now I know what to do to make perfect thumbs!

Thank you so much for the video! I particularly liked the demonstration of how you picked up the stitches behind the thumb gusset. It's a much more practical method than what I had been using before and leaves no holes.
