CONSTRUCTION
These mitts are worked in the round from the bottom up. They start with a twisted rib, and the pattern is then worked from the chart or written instructions. Thumb stitches are made with simple increases and placed on scrap yarn whilst the palm of the mitt is finished. Thumb stitches are then picked up and the thumb completed.
