PATTERN NOTES
These mitts are knit in the round from the bottom up. After working the cuff, stitches are increased for the thumb. Thumb stitches are then set aside, and the remainder of the hand is worked separately.

The Bobble Tree Panel is both written and charted for your convenience.

Please note that these mitts are written to make the most of one ball of Tartan 3. You may need to unravel your swatch to use in the final piece.
