My hat took not so much wool I thought, so I desided to knit a pair of friends for it. Again very simple design to suit the hat and I can wear them in two ways!
*In the rib I knitted knit stiches in back loop
На шапку ушло меньше пряжи, чем я для нее купила, так что я решила связать ей парочку подружек-митенок ☺. Снова очень простой дизайн и их можно носить и так, и так!
* В резинке лицевые петли связаны за заднюю стенку

| two side fingerless mittens |

| Crochet hook bind off |
Actually the wider rip was not supposed to be that, I was just trying to bind it off loosely, but I love what I got in the end! I bound it off with a hook. Look how I did it:
1. Insert hook in two loops on the left needle.
2. Draw yarn through these two loops.
3-4. Draw yarn again through this new loop (make a chain stitch)
5. Place the loop again on the left needle.
Repeat till the end.
I'm sure this method has its name, but I don't know it ☺
Инструкция по-русски:
When she died in March, Jette Užāne received obituaries befitting a revered author or musician in Riga’s largest newspapers. Instead she was a severely handicapped farmwoman with no formal education. Several years ago, when I asked Latvian friends in Riga about their traditional folk mittens, they repeatedly said, “The best ones are made by Cimdu Jettiņa.” This is an affectionate name (using the diminutive form). “Little Jette of the mittens” might be a literal translation.
