PATTERN NOTES
These mitts are knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up (cuff up). The right and left mitts mirror one another. These mitts feature a palm gusset. After the palm gusset shaping is complete, stitches for the Thumb are slipped to a holder. Then, each the Hand and Thumb are worked in the round separately. In this pattern, work all slipped stitches purlwise unless otherwise indicated.
