Pick up 18 sts on holding needle P1row K 1 row Work the same ribbing you did for the cuff and thumb, bind off. Repeat with second set of 18 sts. Don't seam up the glove yet. Thing 1 and Thing 2 Pockets NOTE: these pockets are more for style than use. CO 15 sts in color B; work 11 rows. Make two. Then in duplicate stitch, work the charts below. Sew the pockets onto the outside of the glove where the back of your hand will go. Seam up with preferred method. The Blue Thing Hair Make 2 tassles out of color D (small ones; small enough to fit in the pocket.) Carefully slide them into the pocket, then take color B and carefully sew the tassles into the inside of the pocket. Weave in the ends. You now have your own pair of Cat in The Hat Mittens!
