R1: *p1, (k1, p1) 3 times, sl1, (p1, k1) 3 times, repeat from * 3 more times
R2: (p1, k1) to end
R3: repeat R1
Establish pattern:
R4: *k1, yo, k1, (p1, k1) 2 times, s2kpsso, (k1, p1) 2 times, k1, rev yo, repeat from* 3 more times
R5: *k1, ptbl, k1, (p1, k1) 2 times, sl1, (k1, p1) 2 times, k1, ptfl, repeat from* 3 more times
R6: *k1, yo, p1, (k1, p1) 2 times, s2kpsso, (p1, k1) 2 times, p1, rev yo, repeat from* 3 more times
R7: *k1, ktbl, p1, (k1, p1) 2 times, sl1, (p1, k1) 2 times, p1, kfl, repeat from* 3 more times
Repeat rounds 4 to 7 eight more times, or to desired length, ending with a Round 7.
Note: Instead of working increases, you will be increasing the stitch count by omitting decreases.
Continue increasing in this manner in the first block, and working the remaining 3 blocks in established
pattern, until you have 20 extra stitches, ending with a round 6. You will then have finished round 58.

FINISHING
Weave in ends, using them to close up any holes between mitten top and thumb, if needed. Wash in
cool water with wool wash, roll up in a towel to squeeze out moisture. Reshape to desired dimensions,
pull out scalloped edges at cuff, straighten top edge, and lay flat to dry.
