a different thumb for toasty
Thursday, April 30, 2015Have you ever been somewhere when your pattern calls for you to place live stitches on a holder and you don't have the correct materials to do so? Ya, me too. And that is pretty much why I did this thumb and have grown to like it. Not that I won't sometimes go back to the other thumb. But, this one just works, too. So, I thought I would show you in case you would like to give it a try.
And for my visual friends (Hi Barbara!) I thought I'd not only tell you, but show you.
The pattern is Toasty. Remember there is Toast, too. No thumb to even knit in Toast!
There is also always a link in my sidebar.
Work for 9 rounds. Thumb opening will measure 1.5 inches.
Join to work in the round again and knit until above thumb opening measures 2-2.5 inches.
Bind off.
Pick up 15 stitches around thumb opening.
Knit for 5 rounds. Bind off.
Sew in your ends.
Wave to your friends.
Hi friends!
Cast on again and repeat. :)

I have been a fan of this pattern for many years. With this clear and colorful tutorial, I bet that you've inspired many folks to get out their dp needles and a bit of yarn. Stripes are a great touch, along this that thumb!
