PATTERN NOTES
These mitts are knit in the round from the bottom up, starting with a Latvian Twist. After working the cuff, stitches are increased in the palm to create thumb gusset. Thumb stitches are then set aside, and the remainder of the hand is knit in the round with symmetrical decreases shaping the top.
