Grandmother’s Pattern Book

The thumbless mitt or wristlet requires one half hank of knitting-yarn, gray, with No. 2 knitting needles. Nine stitches measure one inch. Check your gauge.

Cast on 48 stitches and knit 2, purl 2, for 12 inches; bind off and sew up, leaving an opening for the thumb two inches in length, three inches from one end. The ordinary wristlets or pulse-warmers are knitted in the same way, 8½ inches long, and sewed up with no thumb-opening.
