These mitts are worked from the cuff up. The ribbed cuff is striped in C1 and C2. Once the cuff is finished, the colourwork section begins. A thumb gusset is worked to ensure a good fit, and once all thumb sts have been increased, these are put on hold while the top of the mitt is finished.

After the top of the colourwork section, another section of striped rib is worked at the top. Lastly, the thumb sts are placed back on the needle and the ribbed thumb is worked separately.
