First attempt to make mittens


When you start making socks, you can also make mittens! I had never done that, but this month I decided to give a try.
Here's what I've done so far.

The start is the same as with a sock, a loop of 10 stitches and increase to 28 stitches. Of course, if your hand is bigger, you need more stitches! You stop at the 'end' of the fingers (or the basis where you fingers begin, depends on how you look at it).

After this, I need to make a second loop for the thumb. I'll post more photos when I've done that!
