GENERAL INFORMATION
These mitts are worked in the round using two colours of yarn and the woven cross stitch pattern. The woven cross stitch is particularly well suited to variegated yarns and the more contrasting the MC and CC are, the more you see the pattern stand out. The hand circumference and length can be adjusted and there are instructions in the pattern for this.

How do I work the Woven Cross Stitch?
The pattern includes a photo tutorial and there is a link to a YouTube video in the pattern, and you can see it here
