• The mittens are worked from top-down in the round so you don’t have to make a separate swatch.
• This design comes with an arched gusset so the mittens fit like a glove

This pattern is written for the magic loop method (it is assumed that the stitches are divided evenly over two needles) but you can easily adjust it for the double pointed needles as well.
