This mitten is made open, and when finished is sewn up

Begin on a foundation of 53 stitches, and with a mesh a quarter of an inch wide.

Net 4 rows. Net 1 row with silk, on a mesh half the size of the 1st. Net 2 rows with lambs’-wool on the 1st mesh. 1 row with silk on the 2nd. Repeat these rows of lambs’-wool and silk 4 times: then in the middle of the row, net 13 stitches of wool on the large mesh, and net the same back again. Net 1 row of silk, 2 of lambs’-wool, 1 of silk, these stitches form the thumb. Begin again on the hand part of the mitten: net 2 rows of lambs’-wool (leaving out the 13 thumb stitches), 1 row of silk, 2 rows of lambs’-wool, 1 of silk, 2 of lambs’-wool, and 1 of silk. All the rows of lambs’-wool are netted on the large mesh; all those of silk on the small mesh. Sew up the thumb and hand, and run a ribbon in at the top of the first row of silk.

This mitten may be made of one, two, or three colours.
