Construction Notes:

These mittens are worked in the round from the cuff up. Starting with a ribbed cuff, the mittens move into the lower hand area, working increases for the thumb across the palm, and gorgeous cables across the back of the hand. After splitting out the stitches for the thumb onto waste yarn, the cables continue up the back of the hand, ending with a charted decrease section for the fingers, which are then closed using the kitchener stitch. The thumb is worked last, also in the round, then the mittens are blocked and the cuff folded.
