PATTERN NOTES:

These mitts are worked flat from side to side then seamed using slip stitch before the cuff is worked in the round.

The thumb is worked as you go, using short rows to shape the gusset. Both mitts are worked to the same pattern; how you fold your work to seam the thumb determines whether the glove fits right or left.

A removable marker is used after seaming the thumb simply to make certain stitches easier to see.

The 2ch worked at the beginning of a row counts as the first stitch unless otherwise stated. The ch 1 at the beginning of a row does not count as the first stitch.
