Free Basic Family Knit Mittens Pattern

Confusing and Very Difficult to Understand

I consider myself a beginning knitter and I found this pattern extremely confusing. There are random blocks inserted in between row instructions that just have stitch names (ie "k2tog or "purl"). It is not clear at all if I am supposed to do that stitch at exactly that moment or if the designer sporadically inserted instructions on how to do different types of stitches. If it is the latter, those instructions should be at either the beginning or the end of the pattern, NOT placed in the middle and interrupting the pattern row instructions. This was so confusing that I actually went with a more difficult, yet standardized pattern, and it was far EASIER to understand and work with.

Mistake in Pattern

Row 12 should be Purl. Agree with other comments pattern should be separate from instructions,

Revised pattern is way too long

This pattern is easy to follow, but my low rating is because of the unnecessarily long pattern, same as the previous review. I came here to verify something on this original as my printed copy’s green lettering (for adult size) is hard to read.  When I print out pattern, I have to do it at the library where I am charged per page. I don’t want the extra pages. Might be a good idea to offer your subscribers a choice on whether they want to download the simple pattern, or one with many illustrations. I love the huge variety of patterns on this site and hope they’ll continue to be easy to read, print and follow along with!

TOO BASIC

I do not like the new format for this pattern. It was 2 pages, landscape, and perfect for following and making notations. I do not need the pictures on the new 8-page version. Can I get a file with the old pattern? I cannot find mine.

For the children’s size, after you shape the thumb gusset, you knit 21 and and turn. Where do you cast in the two stitches and place the remaining stitches on à stitch holder. Is there a video?

Is there an error in this pattern? Pg 6, 12th Row should be purl?
