NOTES

• These finger mitts are worked in the round from the bottom up.

• The chart is worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than five stitches, tack stranded yarn on the wrong side of the work every third stitch.

• If necessary, use a larger needle for the charted rounds to maintain gauge.

• The sample used most of one skein of MC. If making the second size, consider purchasing an extra skein as insurance.
