This pattern does not teach stranded knitting. It is a colorwork design fully charted for each hand. The stranded colorwork is presented in chart form only, with little written instructions to go with the charts.

This pattern is great for using some fingering weight leftovers because of the small amount of yarn for each color.

The thumbs are asymmetrical with the colors in the thumb gusset just a little different in each thumb. These gloves/mitts are fingerless.

The pattern is written for an average female.

These gloves may be knit with either double points or circulars in the length you prefer (magic loop or short circular).

This design is named in memory of a very dear friend, Kelly Marie. On 7/19/18 Kelly Marie, went to be with her Lord and Savior.
