Purple Mittens

I combined a couple of patterns I found on the internet and came up with these:

Cascade Yarns
220 Tweed-7610-purple
90% Peruvian highland wool
10% Donegal (Tweed)

Pattern:

Cast on 44 stitches and divide among 3 size 3 needles (12, 16, 16)
Knit 2, purl 2 for about 2.5" (to make cuffs)
k8 rows
on 9th row k2, inc 1, k1, inc 1, k to end of row
k next two rows
on 12th row k2, inc 1, k3, inc 1, k to end of row
k next two rows
on 15th row k2, inc 1, k5, inc 1, k to end of row
k next two rows
on 18th row k2, inc 1, k7, inc 1, k to end of row
k next two rows
on 21st row k2, inc 1, k9, inc 1, k to end of row
k 4 more rows (~2.5" from end of cuff)

Then slip 2 stitches from #3 needle over to #1 needle
then k3 drop 13 sts on pc of yarn
Then knit until you get to last joint of middle finger

To narrow or decrease:
Begin decreasing for the mitten tip. For the next 4 rounds, knit 4 stitches and then knit 2 together, repeating throughout the round.
For the next 2 rounds, knit 3 stitches, and then knit 2 together, repeating throughout the round.
For the last round k2tg, repeat leaving 7sts

draw end of yarn thru the 7 sts and pull inside and finish off.

Thumb:

put the 13 stitches you dropped on 2 needles
Pick up 4 stitches and distribute stitches (6, 6, 5)
knit around to desired length

For one row, k1, k2tg
For last row, k2tg until there are 6 stitches left
draw end of yarn thru the 6 sts and pull inside and finish off.
