Swans and cygnets enjoy a swim among the water lilies.

The mittens are 72 sts wide and 109 sts long.

This is an intermediate to advanced stranded colorwork pattern that includes long floats and 3 colors on some rounds.

The pattern is written to add the 3rd color with duplicate stitch after the mitten is complete, but it could also be done as stranded with 3 colors on these rounds.
