Pattern Notes
These mittens are worked from the bottom to top. Beginning with the cuff, a rolled hem is worked, followed by 1x1 ribbing. The front and back of the mitten’s body features a stranded tree motif, which is worked simultaneously as the thumb gusset increases. Lastly, the thumb is worked separately.
