Pattern is written for smaller size with changes for larger size in parentheses. When only one number is given, it applies to both sizes. To follow pattern more easily, circle all numbers pertaining to your size before beginning.
GAUGE:
14 sc + 14 rnds = about 4" with larger hook.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
DIRECTIONS:
STITCH EXPLANATION:
sc2tog (sc 2 sts together) (Insert hook in next st and draw up a loop) twice, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook - 1 st decreased.
NOTES:
Cuff ribbing is worked first, back and forth in rows. Then sts are worked along one long edge of ribbing and Mitten is worked in continuous rnds (spiral) upwards.
Stitches are skipped for the thumb opening. Later, thumb is worked into the opening.
Stranded colorwork is worked on back of Mitten, following chart. Read each rnd of chart from right to left.
To change yarn color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Proceed with new color. Do not cut old color. Carry color not in use under sts of current working color to create a thick fabric and avoid long floats.
Palm and thumb are worked with yarn color A only.
