DIRECTIONS:

STITCH EXPLANATIONS:
M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between the needles and placing it onto the left needle. Work this new stitch through the back loop.
ssk (slip, slip knit) Slip the next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time to right needle; insert the left needle into the fronts of these 2 sts and k them together.
NOTES:
Mittens are worked in rnds from wrist edge upwards.
Stranded colorwork is worked on Mitten back, following a chart. When working from chart, read each rnd of chart from right to left.
Do not cut yarn between color changes. Carry unused color(s) across wrong side of Mitten. Keep even tension on the carried strands of yarn - don’t pull them too tightly or allow them to hang loosely.
When following the chart across the Mitten back, all of the sts outside the chart are worked with yarn color A. Carry unused color(s) across these A sections, twisting yarns every 4-5 sts to keep them in place on inside of Mitten. This technique makes the Mittens extra warm and cozy!
Sts are increased to shape thumb gusset then gusset sts are placed on a holder and top of hand is completed. Gusset sts are later returned to needles and thumb is worked.
When you see 'as established' in the instructions, this means to continue in the current pattern st.
RIGHT MITTEN:
Cuff
With smaller needles and A, cast on 38 (46) sts. Divide sts as evenly as possible onto 4 needles. Place a marker for beg of rnd. Join by working the first st on the left hand needle with the working yarn from the right hand needle and being careful not to twist sts.
Rnd 1 (RS): *P1, k1; rep from * to end of rnd.
Rep Rnd 1 until piece measures about 3 (3 1/2)" from beg.
Change to larger needles.
Knit 2 (4) rnds.

Rnd 1: K1 (3), place marker (pm), work in St st in the rnd (k every st of every rnd), changing yarn color following Rnd 1 of chart over next 17 sts, pm, with A, k to end of rnd.
Note:
Don’t forget to carry unused yarn color(s) across the A sections, twisting yarns every 4-5 sts to keep them in place on inside of Mitten.
Continue in St st in the rnd, changing yarn color following chart as established between markers and working remaining sts with A, for 4 (6) more rnds, slipping markers as you come to them.
Note:
As you continue to work the chart rnds, continue to keep remaining sts in yarn color A, carrying unused yarn color(s) across WS of Mitten. Check the WS of the Mitten every few rnds to make sure you are maintaining an even tension.

JOANN HACKS:

  • If Mittens appear lumpy due to carried strands, soak them in warm water with a small amount of wool wash for about 20 minutes. Remove from water and roll Mittens in a thick towel to remove as much water as possible. Lay Mittens flat onto a dry towel and allow to dry thoroughly.


ABBREVIATIONS:

beg = beginning
k = knit
k2tog = knit 2 stitches together
rep = repeat(ing)
RS = right side
St st = Stockinette stitch
st(s) = stitch(es)
WS = wrong side

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Cute pattern! I just wanted to correct some of the other comments... First, the yarn colors are listed in the supplies and tools section of the pattern. Each yarn color is given a letter (A, B or C) and the pattern does say which color to use when knitting by referring to color A,B,or C. Second, the directions start with stitch explanations... if you scroll down to the part that says “Right Mitten”... this is where you start knitting. There it says to cast on 38 or 46 stitches (depending on the size) with color A (Taupe Heather) using smaller needles. However, as several people mentioned there is no chart. So knitters need to follow the directions line by line. Otherwise this is a cute free pattern! It’s pretty straight forward knitting, using stranded colors but requires some experience for the mitten construction.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Where is the chart? I can probably make one for myself, but the instructions state that there is one already. Pretty frustrating!
