 PATTERN and CHART NOTES:
• Instructions are written in the following format: Extra Small (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large). Be

• Changes to gauge or yarn weight may require additional yarn.
• Where just one number is given in the instructions, it applies to all sizes.
• Additional sizes can be made by changing yarn weight and/or gauge.
• Color changes, patterns and shaping are on the chart. Unless otherwise indicated, all chart sts are
worked as k sts.
• Follow chart from bottom to top and from right to left.
• Left and Right mittens are made from the same chart. Follow the chart for the appropriate
placement for the thumbs.
• The magenta and blue outlined sections on the mitten hand chart indicate the placement of the
thumb gussets. They are replaced by the thumb chart sts for the appropriate mitten. The magenta-
outlined sts show the placement of the left hand thumb, the blue the right.
