Pattern confusion…

Any nice knitter who can explain this part to me? Pretty please? 😀

I’m feeling confused over this mitten pattern, and I bet it’s actually really easy. Maybe I’m just too tired. Anyway, exactly how is the thumb hole created? The patterns I’ve knitted before you simply remove a bunch of stitches and save for later. Hmpf.

Någon duktig stickare som kan hjälpa mig lite grann? Snälla? 😀

Känner mig lite konfunderad över ett vantmönster – det är säkert väldigt enkelt egentligen. 🙂 Jag kanske är för trött. I vilket fall, exakt hur skapar man hålet för tummen? I de mönster jag stickat innan flyttar man helt enkelt bort en del maskor för att sticka senare. Hmpf.

Round 33: Work in pattern to indicated thumb placement; k 12 sts indicated by red box using waste yarn; slip these sts back to left needle, then work them again, using MC and CC in pattern as set; continue in pattern to end of round.

Work Rounds 34-80 of chart, decreasing as shown. When all rounds have been completed, 12 sts remain. Break MC.

THUMB
Carefully remove waste yarn from thumb sts, placing resulting live sts on needles. There will be 24 sts: 12 sts each above and below thumb hole.

Update.

I think I get it. Maybe. We’ll see. 😀
