                     GAUGE
                     30 sts = 4"; 40 rnds = 4" in St st
                     TO SAVE TIME, TAKE TIME TO CHECK GAUGE

                     PATTERN STITCH (Multiple of 4 sts + 1)
                     Row 1 (WS): Purl.
                     Row 2: K2tog, * (k1, yo, k1) all in next st, sl 1, k2 tog, psso, rep from *
                     to last 3 sts, end (k1, yo, k1) all in next st, SSK.
                     Rep these 2 rows for Pat St.

                     STRIPE SEQUENCE
                     * Working in Pat St, work 2 rows MC, 2 rows A, (2 rows MC, 2 rows B)
                     twice, 2 rows MC, 2 rows A, (2 rows MC, 2 rows C) twice, 2 rows MC, 2
                     rows D, (2 rows MC, 2 rows C) twice, rep from * once, more, end on RS ­
                     72 rows total. Bind off.

                     MITTEN (Make 2)
                     Cuff (Worked back and forth in rows): With dpn's, using MC, cast on
                     33 sts. DO NOT turn. Work even in Pat St, following Stripe Sequence until
                     72 rows have been completed, end on Row 2. Change to MC and work
                     Row 1. Bind off knitwise. Sew cast-on and bound-off edges tog forming a
                     tube. Weave in all ends. Turn tube so that edge where yarns were
                     changed is on the top. Sts are picked up along this edge for a neater look
                     to outer edge of cuff.

                     and before 2nd marker in this manner every 4th rnd 8 times more ­ 78 sts
                     (20 sts between markers).
                     Divide for Thumb: Next Rnd: K to 1st marker, sl the next 20 sts to
                     waste yarn for thumb, dropping markers, cast on 2 sts, k29 ­ 60 sts.
