Cast on 44sts on 3mm needles. Join.

1. K to last 2 stitches, kfb, kfb.
2. K (and every second round).
3. K to last 4 stitches, kfb, k2, kfb.
5. K to last 6 stitches, kfb, k4, kfb.
7. K to last 8 stitches, kfb, k6, kfb.
Continue in this manner until there are 60sts on the needles. Then work 8 rounds of stocking stitch. Transfer the last 16 stitch to waste yarn, leaving 40sts on the needles. Join, and work 8 rounds of 2x2 rib. Cast off using a lace bind off.
Left Mitten
Cast on 20sts, and then starting at the thumb, pick up 20sts, at the bottom of the ribbing. *Join, and work 8 rounds of 2x2 ribbing. Work 27 rounds of stocking stitch. Then shape the top of the mitten.
1. (K1, ssk, k14, k2tog, k1), repeat.
2. K.
3. (K1, ssk, k12, k2tog, k1), repeat.
4. K.
5. (K1, ssk, k10, k2tog, k1), repeat.
6. (K1, ssk, k8, k2tog, k1), repeat.
7. (K1, ssk, k6, k2tog, k1), repeat. (20sts)
Graft the top of the mitten closed.
Right Mitten
Pick up 20sts, starting at the thumb. Then cast on 20sts. Follow the instructions for the left mitten from the asterisk.
Thumb
Transfer the 16st for the thumb from the waste yarn onto needles. Join and knit 15 rounds in stocking stitch. Knit two together eight time (8sts). Knit one round. Break yarn, leaving a tail, and thread the yarn through the stitches to fasten off. Draw up tightly and weave in the end.

I've been struggling a little with a sore throat and a bit of a temperature. The Jultomtar are lovely, but I'm converting the pattern from 'flat' to 'in the round' as I go, and for the legs/boots, I've also switched the direction of knitting. It's too tricksy to work out at the moment, so a pair of flip top mittens will not require too much thought.
