Cashmerino Chunky Long Mittens
Designed by Vanessa Ewing These long mittens are all the rage and I had to design myself a pair. I've been in the mood for pom poms, so to add a little extra touch I used them as a gather around the wrist to add a little flare. Besides, who wants an ordinary mitten? Size: Designed for a women's medium hand. Hand size is adjustable. Total length $\boldsymbol{1}\boldsymbol{1}\ ^{1}/\boldsymbol{2}^{\flat}$ This pattern is copyright 2008.

Directions for Mittens (Make 2)
CO 28 sts and divide evenly onto 3 double pointed knitting needles. Join in the round, being careful not to twist. Work in K2, P2 rib for 1". Change to stockinet stitch (knit every row in the round) for $6~\%^{,,}$ $(7~\%^{\ast}$ total length) Knit next 5 sts with scrap yarn. Place those sts back onto right hand needle to be knit again. Work in stockinet stitch until total measurement of mitten is $1\,0~\%^{,\ast}$ Round 1: $\star\mathsf{K}\mathsf{2}$ , K2tog\* rep from \* to \* across round. Round 3: $^{\star}\mathsf{K}\mathsf{1}$ , K2tog\* rep from \* to \* across round. Round 5: \*K2tog\* rep from \* to \* across round. Cut yarn and draw through remaining sts. Fasten off.
Thumb
Undo scrap yarn and pick up 10 sts. (5 on top and 5 on the bottom) Pick up one extra stitch in between the top and bottom 5 sts and place onto needle. Round 1: K2tog, K4, K2tog, K4. Work in stockinet stitch for 3". K2tog across all sts. Draw through remaining sts and fasten off. Twisted Ties and Pom Poms Make 2: Cut 1 46" long piece of yarn. Tie ends together to form a loop. Twist the loop around a door knob until you form a tight twist. Let the cord fall back on itself (It wili want to twist together) and tie ends together. Measure $4~\%^{\,,\ast}$ up from the bottom of the mitten. Using the large crochet hook, weave in and out the twisted tie all the way around the wrist of the mitten. Attach a small pom pom to each end of the ties.
