Back in October several ladies from our Kingdom (Meridies) held a silent auction at Coronation with the proceeds going to help hurricane victims. I donated two certificates for a pair each of naalbound mittens done in the color or colors of the persons choice.
I have been slowly working on these mittens and present the progress of the first pair here. The material used is worsted weight wool in grass green color.
Getting started:
Using the Finnish (2+2+2) stitch I chained 14 stitches. I then started attaching new stitches to the previous ones thusly: Stitch 1 , Make 1 new stitch, stitch 12, Make 1 new stitch, stitch 1 and then repeated as I went around the chain attaching new stitches to the previous row (round). I ended up with 32 stitches in this beginning round for a mitten top. See the photo below.
A make one is the same in naalbinding as in knitting or crocheting. You simply stitch again in the just used joining stitch from the previous row.
