Bullfrogs Abound!
This is a pattern for a pair of mittens & muffatees worked from the bottom up and in the round, using the stranded colourwork technique.
There are charts for Left and Right mittens & muffatees. Finished size is determined by the needle size.
Since there are longer floats over the frog sections, you may want to use the Ladder-back/Invisible Jacquard technique shown on Page 6.
Mitten Lining: If you would like to work a lining, working your mittens a size larger than your hand and then working the lining a size smaller usually works for most people. You may pick up sts from the inside of the mitten (after ribbing) and work the chart in a single colour or work lining separately and sew in. For my sample, I used Mohair yarn and worked the lining separately from the mitten and decreased the top every other round instead of every round.
