These colorwork mitts are worked bottom up with thumb gusset shaping. Once the thumb shaping is finished those stitches are put on hold and the remainder of the hand is worked in the round.

• Additional length can be added to the thumb and hand area by working more plain rows or working additional ribbing rows.

• Of course, it is entirely possible to use less shades than the 7 used here. Two tone versions would look lovely too!

• Two sizes have been provided.
