The stripes slant in opposite directions on the two mitts, but the construction for each mitt is the same, so both mitts can be worn on either hand. Since the pattern remains the same for each row, just moving one stitch over, you will probably find that these go fairly fast, and don’t require paying a lot of attention to the graph.

If you want a larger pair of mitts, go up a needle size. A gauge of about 31 sts / 4” will produce mitts to fit a 8” hand size.

Each pair of mitts requires about 140 yards (30g) of MC and 65 yards (14g) of CC. You can get a second pair of mitts out of two balls of Palette if you reverse main and contrast colours for the second pair.
