PATTERN NOTES
These mitts are knit in the round from the bottom up. Stitches are increased for the thumb, then the thumb stitches are placed on a holder and the remainder of the hand is worked separately. After establishing the Left and Right Panel patterns, rounds 1-12 of these patterns are repeated continuously throughout the remainder of the mitts.

Please note that this pattern is written to make the most of one ball of Mongolia 3. You may need to unravel your swatch to use in the final piece.
