New instructions for Compass Mittens pattern on pages 63-64. Corrected wording indicated in boldface type.

Page 63, paragraph 8 (bottom of column 1):
For clarity’s sake, one band means all eight rounds; one block means all eight sts in one round.

Page 64, two-thirds of the way down the left-hand column, insert following paragraph 7:
Woman’s medium is not a multiple of 8 sts, but has 4 sts left over. Make these 4 sts a half-element of the pattern on the little-finger side of the palm, where it will be least noticeable. Right hand: K 3 blocks, K 1 half-block, K 4 blocks. Left hand: K 4 blocks, K 1 half-block, K 3 blocks.

Page 64, paragraph 10 (near top of column 2):
Robin knits 2 blocks above the first thumb gusset block, adding 6 sts in the first pattern round (by looping as if to K and knitting both colors into 1 st), maintaining the pattern carefully. She starts the second round with two 6-st blocks, then incs 2 more sts in each block (by knitting both colors into 1 st) in the third pattern round.
