You can make the gloves or mitts with this pattern. The two-color violet chart is very easy to work and there is no “right” glove or “left” glove. They are interchangeable.

The finished gloves and mitts were a perfect fit for my size large adult hands. If you have smaller hands, or usually wear an adult medium or small in glvoes, I suggest changing your needle size to 1 (for medium) or 0 (for small). Ideally, you should check your gauge first. If you have less stitches to the inch than I do (8), you may be able to still use size 2 dpns.
