Pjona [shepherd's knitting] mittens

Happy Friday friends 🌻♥️🌻
Wednesday we were having a road trip and I had my pjoning with me. So I finished the first pair and started a new one 😂😂
You might say I got hooked 😉

I thought you might wanted to learn how to pjone as well.
It's really easy, all you need to know is Slipstitch and chain stitch
So I made a tutorial how to pjone a pair of mittens.









Pjone mittens

Wool yarn
50g 50m
I used Drops Eskimo on my first pair
But you can choose what ever yarn you prefer.
Use a higher number crochet hook than suggested as the work should be loosely.






Chain 30


Slipstitch in first chain to make a circle.

Slipstitch in the back loop of the chain. Stitch loosely all the way around.

Just keep on stitching in the back loop for about 8 rows or as long as you want the cuff to be.

Slipstitch in the front loop from here.


Keep on stitching around until you reach the point where you want your thumb to be.
Ca 12 cm chain 5, skip 5 Slipstitches. Slipstitch around.


In the next row Slipstitch over the 5 chain stitches and keep working in the front loop.

If you rather would like to make fingerless mittens you can stop about here and add a few rows of back loop crochet

 When the mittens reaches the top of your fingers. Ca 13 cm.
Decrease by crocheting 2 and 2 together until there are 4 left.


Thumb
Slipstitch in the front loop in the 5 stitches you skipped for the thumb hole pick up a stitch in each side and Slipstitch in the 5 chain stitches. Work around until you reach the top of your thumb decrease by crochet 2 and 2 together until there are 4 stitches left


Make another one the same way. As it's tube shaped you don't have to think about what side to placing the thumb 👍😊

Sew the hole on the top of the mittens and thumb.
Weave in loose ends

It's important that the work should be loose.
You can of course play around with the back and front loop stitch to create a different pattern. And use a lot of different colours making them really happy mittens.
😊
