Kittenheels Kath Nov 2022 11:43am, 9 Nov 2022 3,404 posts	0 Kittenheels Kath It's silly question time, I'm afraid. Posting on here as this is a safe space, and I won't see any eye-rolling! This is the chart for the mittens I'm knitting, I'm on the thumb of the first mitten at the moment, and the silly question is: how do I adjust the thumb for the other mitten so that I don't end up with two left-hand mittens? Would reading the chart for that side of the mitten backwards do the trick?

Kittenheels Kath Nov 2022 2:30pm, 9 Nov 2022 3,405 posts	0 Kittenheels Kath Here's an attempt to explain what I have in my head: So I would start knitting in the direction of the green arrow, then when I get to the mid point orange arrow, I would start from the other side and knit in the direction of the purple arrow. Does that make any sense at all?

Kittenheels Kath Nov 2022 4:22pm, 9 Nov 2022 3,406 posts	0 Kittenheels Kath Ooh, how did you do that? That makes more sense, because the pattern on the back of the mitten doesn't stop at the mid-point, but continues past it. If I can't work out how to flip the image, would it work the same if I just knitted from right to left instead? It would do my head in, probably!
Kittenheels Kath Nov 2022 4:33pm, 9 Nov 2022 3,407 posts	0 Kittenheels Kath I waded through dozens of websites, and found the answer: you just read the pattern from left to right, to make a matching mitten and not an identical one. Until I see that work out in practice, I will be prepared to rip it all out and start again!
