Hi Jess,
I love your patterns. I’ve made several pairs of your cabin boots and Seaside Slipons. Do you have a pattern for fingerless mittens that is similar to this 3-hour mitten? Or how wouldvI go about turning this into a fingerless mitten. I saw you say to fasten off at row 10 to make it fingerless but I want to add a top/flap to go over the fingers. Thank you.

In reply to Michelle Erwin. Hey Michelle, Thanks for your feedback. If there's enough interest, I'll definitely consider a video. Is there a certain aspect of the thumb I can try to help you with? Jess

In reply to Sheryl. Hey Sheryl, Yes, you caught an error! It should be "skip 5" for both the right and left thumbholes. It's been corrected above. As for where you place the stitches, you are indeed working into that same space in the middle of the sc. That's what will keep all the stitches looking the same in your mitten. :) Happy crocheting!

In reply to Jessica. In my experience, just really tightening it down much more than you'd pull any other stitch can help. It's slightly noticeable in mine, but I don't find it distracting from the overall look. :) Happy crocheting! Jess

Thank you for this pattern! Do you have any suggestions for hiding the slip stitch seam more? I feel like I can really see it as I continue with each round. Thank you.

Are the thumb stitches picked up as usual through the top loops or is this round also through the space between stitches? Is the stitch count at the end of rnd 5 correct - I get 16. If the rnd starts with 18 and you loose 2 with 'sk 4 sc, loosely ch 2' you'd have 16 correct? If that's right then all subsequent rows are off by 1.

my first crochet experience was to crochet edging on my aunts cotton handkies at about age 10.

These are fantastic!! I literally just got home from a conference and was going to park my butt on the couch and read or watch TV but I might have to make mitts instead. Will be marking these as a favorite in Ravelry right away.

I figured it out! I started the first row wrong.

I am a bit confused on how to shape the cuff. I have finished row 12. The length of the cuff measures about 9". Do I fold it in half then stitch the seams together, or do I just stitch the whole length?

Jess,
I am going to try this pattern - looks simple and finishes up beautifully. You really are a wonder, girl. Thanks for a great looking and eminently doable pattern....Jess from Michigan (aka Jess the elder to differentiate from all the others)
