If you downloaded the pattern between 11/28/10 and 11/29/10 please note that the second section under “Hand:” should read as follows:
Turn work (WS facing). Using Cable Cast On method, CO 2 sts, PM, CO 1 st, P1 (to join work). Introduce new DPN and K1,P1 next 6 sts. Continue with K1,P1 rib to marker, SM, K1, P1. (30 sts on DPNs)

Have just a little time? That’s just a little problem! These mitts work up quickly! When you finish knitting the mitts, look at the outside of the thumbs and see the tulip motif created by the gusset shaping. That’s a reminder that spring is coming!

Pattern includes variations to make finger section more snug, or to create a denser version of the mitt (for added warmth, or smaller hands) using size 9 needles.
