GENERAL INFORMATION
These mitts are worked in the round using two stitch cables and slipped stitches.
The mitts have a lot of stretch and will bounce back, due to the slipped sts in the pattern, which also affects the gauge (you get more sts in 10cm because of the slipped stitches).

For two-colour mitts: Choose two very contrasting yarns, light vs dark in the same colour or different colours
works very well. Avoid using yarns that complement each other because they have colours in common.
For single colour mitts: a solid, mid to light tone, will give the best definition

3.0 mm or 3.25 mm (US 2½ or US 3) needle(s) or at least 0.25 mm smaller than your main needle, depending on
how snug you like the brim.
