A brief excursion into history
The art of knitting itself comes from Scandinavia. There, representatives of the stronger sex took knitting needles into their hands for the first time. For a long time, the occupation was considered truly masculine.
In Ancient Rus', girls were required to prepare a dowry for themselves before getting married. In addition to sewing dresses, making bed linen and embroidering towels, they knitted stockings and mittens, which were presented as gifts to future relatives. Therefore, such products were knitted very carefully and painstakingly using many different colorful types of yarn. After all, with the help of a mitten you could not only give warmth to your hands, but also send a secret message encrypted with an ornament. For example, a tree meant life or fertility, a wavy line meant water, and a triangle meant a person.

Knitting patterns were suggested by the surrounding reality and nature, habitat and customs, climatic phenomena and the outlines of various animals. We can say that ornament is a kind of language of communication, each element of which carries its own meaning.
Mittens with ornaments
Mittens with ornaments have been popular for many years now. This model always looks stylish and original. And how to create an interesting drawing is easy thanks to our examples.
When the mittens are ready, do not forget to lightly steam them.
Original model “For lovers”
How often does a couple in love want to walk holding hands in winter, without gloves. But the frost prevents this from happening. We have a great idea on how to fix this, mittens for lovers. This model is knitted with elastic on both sides, as well as with one joint in the middle.
General mitten
You can knit mittens for lovers. In these mittens you will be pleased to feel the warmth of your loved one while walking together in the cold. Mittens for lovers can be knitted from threads of any color with a heart on any background you like. A red heart on a white background will look beautiful. A common mitten is tied together so that when walking around the area, you can hold hands and warm up with each other’s warmth.
The elastic band should be knitted separately for each hand. Knit 2 elastic bands. The loops are connected with circular knitting needles. You will have to knit in the round using stockinette stitch. There is no need to leave room for your finger. Knit until the heart is knitted. The heart is made like this: first, on one side, 6 loops in the center of knitting with white thread through two loops.
The next row is 7 loops with white yarn through 1 red yarn. Next we continue to knit men's mittens with knitting needles. First, the loops are knitted with white thread, then the white thread is reduced until 1 loop remains. We knit the toe of the mitten - when 2 loops remain, it is secured on the wrong side.
Mitts
Nowadays, the model of mittens with open fingers is especially relevant. It is convenient when using the phone and when working with your fingers. This model of mittens is called “Mitts”.
Knitting starts from the wrist according to the usual pattern, but the knitting ends when it reaches half of the palm. And it stays on the hand thanks to the bridges between the fingers. Let's look at how to connect them correctly below. First, let's consider the option of knitting a pattern with a large closed finger.

A new batch of mittens, this time in lazy jacquard. When knitting with lazy jacquard, two colors alternate, two rows are knitted each, and the pattern is obtained by removing and extending the loops of the previous row in a certain order according to the pattern.

When finishing the mitten, I decreased the loops as usual (I call this method my own name). I wanted to knit my finger with a 1×1 rib, but there wasn’t enough brown yarn left and I had to struggle with knitting the pattern on my fingers. Verbal description of the pattern Pattern for mittens (the description is made for knitting in the round) Rapport 6 loops. The first two rows are installation rows, knitted only once at the beginning of knitting the pattern. Next comes the repetition of the pattern, knitting from the 3rd to the 6th row. 1st row (light thread): knit all stitches; 2nd row (light thread): same as 1st row; 3rd row (dark thread): * knit 2, slip 2 stitches (thread behind the loop), knit 2 *, from * to * repeat until the end of the row; 4th row (dark thread): like 3rd row; 5th row (light thread): * Knit 1, slip 1 loop onto an additional needle and leave before work, knit 1, then knit a loop from an additional needle, slip the next loop on an additional needle and leave before working, knit 1, then knit loop from an additional needle, knit 1 *, repeat from * to * until the end of the row; Row 6 (light thread): knit all stitches. *** Second pair of mittens
