These mittens convert to fingerless gloves by pulling back the mitten top. Size: Medium Men's or older teenage boys, also may fit women with larger hands.
MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn. I am not sure exactly how much I used as I always buy the larger balls of yarn, however, I used Bernat Super Value 8 oz (225 g) and I had lots left over, but maybe not quite enough to complete another pair.
A strip of velcro (which can be cut) or the hook & loop dots of velcro that look like buttons.
Hook: 5.00 mm (H-8)
Gauge: 3.5 sts per inch. 4 rows per inch.
Size: Medium Men's or older teenage boys, also may fit women with larger hands. For a larger Men's size use a 5.50mm (I-9) or 6.00mm (J-10) hook.

RIGHT MITTEN
CUFF (Ribbing)
Ch 15
ROW 1: 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in next 13 chs, ch 1, turn. (14 sc) Next rows are through back loops only.
ROW 2: 1 sc in each sc of previous row, ch 1, turn. (14 sc)
ROWS 3 - 29: Same as Row 2
ROW 30: This is the joining row. Fold cuff so Row 1 is behind Row 29, ss to join Row 30 to
Row 1.
Turn cuff inside out. This will be the right side.
RND 1: Ch 1, 1 sc at the base of ch 1, 1 sc at the end of each row of ribbing, ss to join to the first sc, ch 1, turn (30 sc)
(After you turn always skip the ss where you joined on previous RND and begin your work in the first sc.)
RND 2: 1 sc in the first sc, 2sc in the next sc, 1 sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next 7 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (34 sc)

RND 4: 1 sc in next 16 sc, 2 sc in next 2 sc, 1 sc in next 16 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (36 sc)
RND 5: 1 sc in next 16 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next 16 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (38 sc)

RND 8: 1 sc in next 16 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next 8 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next 16 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (44 sc)
RND 9: 1 sc in next 16 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next 10 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next 16 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (46 sc)
THUMB
1 sc in next 30 sc. Beginning at the last sc you just made, count back 14 sc, ss to join your last sc to this sc, ch 1, turn.
RND 1: 1 sc in the next 14 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (14 sc)
RNDS 2 to 8: Same as RND 1.
RND 9: 2 sc tog 7 times, ss to join. (7 sc)
Cut yarn leaving end approx. 8" long. Using darning needle thread yarn through the 7 sc and pull tight, fasten off.
PALM
(Helpful Hint: I have found it easier after attaching yarn for the palm and fingers to weave in the yarn ends as you go so you don't have to turn the mitten inside out and do it after it's finished.)
With the palm of mitten facing you, join yarn inside at the front of mitten by the base of the thumb. In the first sc by base of thumb pull up a loop and ch 1 and 1 sc. 1 sc in next 15 sc, ss to join to the first sc of this RND which is the RND where you divided for the thumb, ch 1, turn. (16 sc)
If you are having problems with the above instructions, this will explain it further:
You join to the sc on the row where you made the thumb. Look back under "Thumb" and see where you made the "1 sc in next 30 sc". Then you counted back 14 and joined to make the thumb opening. This left 16 sc worked on that row before the thumb opening, but the next 16 sc after the thumb opening was not worked.
What you are doing when you start the palm, is working those previously unworked 16 sc and joining to the first sc of the "30 sc" that you made when beginning the thumb.
RND 1: 1 sc in next 16 sc, pick up 2 sc at the base of thumb, 1 sc in next 16 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (34 sc)
RND 2: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (34 sc)
RND 3 to 8: Same as RND 2.
(Add more rnds if necessary for length to base of wearer's fingers)
INDEX FINGER
1 sc in next 22 sc, ch 2, beginning at the last sc you just made, count back 10 sc, ss to join to that sc, ch 1, turn.
RND 1: 1 sc in each of the next 2 chs, 1 sc in next 10 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
RND 2: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
RND 3: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, fasten off.
MIDDLE FINGER
With palm of mitten facing you, join yarn at the front inside at the base of index finger. In the sc beside the base of index finger pull up a loop ch 1 and 1 sc. 1 sc in next 3 sc, ch 2. On the back of mitten count back 4 sc from index finger, 1 sc in that sc, 1 sc in the next 3sc, 1 sc in next 2 sc at base of index finger, ss to join to first sc, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
RND 1: 1 sc in next 6 sc, 1 sc in each of the next 2 chs, 1 sc in next 4 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
RND 2: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
RND 3: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, fasten off.
RING FINGER
With palm of mitten facing you, join yarn at the front inside at the base of middle finger. In the sc beside the base of middle finger pull up a loop ch 1 and 1 sc. 1 sc in next 3 sc, ch 2. On the back of mitten count back 4 sc from middle finger, 1 sc in that sc, 1 sc in the next 3sc, 1 sc in next 2 sc at base of middle finger, ss to join to first sc, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
RND 1: 1 sc in next 6 sc, 1 sc in each of the next 2 chs, 1 sc in next 4 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
RND 2: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (12 sc)
RND 3: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, fasten off.
LITTLE FINGER
With palm of mitten facing you, join yarn at the front inside at the base of ring finger. In the sc beside the base of ring finger pull up a loop ch 1 and 1 sc. 1 sc in next 8 sc, 1 sc in next 2 sc at base of ring finger, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (10 sc)
RNDS 1 and 2: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (10 sc)
RND 3: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, fasten off.
MITTEN TOP
On the back of mitten, find the RND that is midway between the thumb and the base of fingers. (I used the forth RND up from the thumb). Begin at the thumb end with finger ends toward you. On that rnd you can see the top loops of the scs. Attach yarn and through those loops place 16 sc evenly across the back of mitten. To begin after attaching yarn, pull up a loop and make 1 ch and 1 sc. Then make 15 more sc across the back of mitten.
Next: ch 18, ss to join to the first sc, ch 1, turn.
RND 1: 1 sc in each of the 18 chs, 1 sc in next 16 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (34 sc)
RND 2: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (34 sc)

RND 12: 2 sc tog, 1 sc in next 14 sc, 2 sc tog, 1 sc in next 14 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn (30 sc)
RND 13: 1 sc in each sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (30 sc)
RND 14: 2 sc tog, 1 sc in next 13 sc, 2 sc tog, 1 sc in next 13 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn (28 sc)
RND 15: 2 sc tog, 1 sc in next 12 sc, 2 sc tog, 1 sc in next 12 sc, ss to join, ch 1, turn (26 sc)

RND 19: 2 sc tog 10 times, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (10 sc)
RND 20: 2 sc tog 5 times, ss to join, fasten off.
With darning needle, weave in all ends. Sew velcro into place. To hold back mitten top when using the fingerless gloves, sew a small piece of velcro or a velcro dot (button) hook piece on the outside of each mitten top back about 1 inch down from the tip. Fold mitten top flat against mitten back and position one loop velcro piece under the hook piece, sew to mitten back. (Optional, to keep mitten top down when using only as mittens, sew one or two velcro pieces or velcro dots (buttons) under mitten top and to the palm. However, most people tell me that you do not need anything to hold them down as they will stay in place.)
LEFT MITTEN
Work exactly as for the Right Mitten up until you complete the fingers. Now turn the mitten over, it will also fit the left hand. What was the palm side for the Right Mitten will now be the back side for the Left Mitten.
With that in mind, work mitten top the same as for the Right Mitten by beginning on the back of mitten, except this time with the finger ends towards you, you will begin at the little finger end, instead of the thumb end.
