Tumb gusset on a knitted mitten

In this DROPS Video we show how many of our popular gloves are knitted. 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 small 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 holder. 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 holder 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. REMEMBER - you will need to read the pattern to be able to follow.

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.
