Flying Geese Mittens
The Flying Geese mittens are worked in the round from the bottom up. They begin with a provisionally cast on folded cuff and vikkel braid and then the main portion of the hand is worked in a flying geese and vertical stripe pattern.
When increasing for the thumb, you may elect to work a m1R or m1L depending on the location of the increases.
