Loki was playing two dwarven smiths off against each other getting them to compete to see who could create the best gifts for the gods. Loki tried to cheat and transformed into a gnat to sting the smith’s apprentice as he was pumping the bellows. Consequently Mjolnir’s handle is very short because it got burnt a bit in the flames and the smith had to make some adjustments.

 

This version of Thor is pretty close to his depiction in folklore although he’s also described as being barefoot and with a basket on his back.
