Pattern Notes

The mitten is double-layered. The mitten is worked upward using provisional cast on. Before interior part is worked, ears are knitted and attached and eyes and nose embroidered. Then provisional cast on is unravelled to work the interior part. The interior mitten is then tucked inside of the exterior mitten.
