needle in the loop on thumb from underneath, taking thumb out of the loop and gently tightening the loop on the needle. Repeat for the correct number of stitches.

Flexible long-tail cast on:

Note: The top needle is the needle you will use to begin working piece, and the lower is another needle of the same or specified size. You can use yarn from both ends of ball or from two balls.

Place a slip knot made from the yarn that will go over your forefinger on the top needle. Pick up the lower needle and hold it below the top needle with the slip knot between them. *Hold both yarn ends as for a long-tail cast on in left hand. Go up into thumb loop with both needles (it works nicely to hold the lower needle back about ½" from top needle tip). Twist needles over and scoop the forefinger yarn with the top needle only, bringing both needles back through the thumb loop. Do not remove thumb. Straighten needles and put thumb loop on the lower needle. Remove thumb from loop and gently tighten to lower needle. Repeat from * until the correct number of stitches are on the top needle (lower needle will have 1 less stitch).

Yo bind off: K1, *yo, k1. Use left needle to lift yo and first k1 over last k1 on right needle and drop off both needles. Repeat from * until only 1 stitch remains on right needle. Cut yarn and pull through last stitch.

special abbreviationsIncL: With left needle, pick up top loop of st below the st just knit and knit it.

IncR: With right needle, pick up top loop of st below the first st on the left needle and knit it.

K1-fbf: Knit into stitch and without removing stitch from left needle, twist right needle and knit into the back leg of stitch, twist right needle and knit into the front of stitch. (3 sts made)

Notes

Because neither of the fibers in this yarn have memory, it is important to knit these mitts fairly densely. The ribbed sections give flexibility so the mitts will stretch around and hug your wrists.
