One finished mitt, and the instructions

OK, so this is the right side out view of the one mitt, you can see the taper but not the ribbing.



And this inside out pict shows the detail of the ribbing.

These instructions are for 5.25 stitch per inch yarn worked on # 4 (USA) DPNs;

~ Cast on 16 stitches to each of three needles. (Any multiple of four stitches will work so any combination of 16 -12 or 8 stitches per needle will do depending on the writs size of the wearer.)
~ Work in round knitting straight through for 3.5 inches.
~ Start wide spaced ribbing with P1, K7, work this ribbing for 3/4 inch.
~ The next section is P1, K3 rib, work this for 2 inches lining the P1 of the last round with this P1 row.
~ The wrist is next, using a P1, K1 ribbing for 4 inches. Again, align your P1 rows.
~ Then widen again to accommodate the hand with the P1, K3 rib, work for 3 inches and then cast off ten stitches for the thumb.
~ Continue knitting the cast off row in the P1, K3 ribbing and the next time around cast on the matching 10 stitches.Continue K1, P3 ribbing for another 1 3/4 inches and cast off. Weave in any tails and you are good to go.

This mitt fits a fore arm for someone mid to small boned with a space of 8 1/2 inches between the outer bump on the elbow and the outer wrists bone bump (under the small finger).
