Description: The mittens are worked in the round using the Magic loop method. First, a hem with a rolled edge is worked in the Latvian braid pattern, followed by a 1x1 rib with twisted knit stitches. Then, continue in stockinette stitch while working a stranded colorwork (Fair Isle/jacquard) pattern with floats, and shaping the thumb gusset. Once the gusset is complete, the thumb stitches are placed on hold. The main body of the mitten is worked according to the provided charts. The thumb is worked last.
