Pattern notes
The mittens (or mitts) are cast on, and a cuff worked in twisted rib. After increasing stitches and beginning to work from the colourwork chart, a placeholder of waste yarn is inserted into the fabric of the palm for the afterthought thumb. The chart is completed, then the mitts finished
with an open rib, or a closed, grafted top for the mittens.
