Trick or Treat

Sassy Pat is still fussing with thumbs.

Put 'em, take 'em out.

A witch of a job...

But she's  learned 

some new tricks.

Knit a couple of rows beyond the cuff.

Put about 8 stitches on a thread

at the starting join.

Cast-on four stitches.

Continue knitting.

When you go back to pick-up

the thumb add a couple of stitches

on either side of the cast-on.

Knit about 9 rows.

CO.

Also, for one set of mitts

she  just cast off eight stitches

and continued to knit for

five or six rows.

Eureka!  An opening...

a mini thumb.

You can also do a conventional thumb

and bind off short of the thumb decreases

and not draw your thread through

to create gathers.

Time for a treat...

Krause's candy, chicken corn?

What's your favorite treat?
