Notes
    1. Sizes: With recommended yarn/needles, the mitts will fit an adult woman’s S/M hand. The size of the mitts can be further adjusted with yarn and needles. My recommendation would be: for S/M light fingering + 2mm needles, for M use fingering + 2.25/2.5 mm needles, for large use sport weight and 2.5/3 mm needles. 
    2. Stranded colorwork: Follow the charts from right to left. Catch longer floats using preferred method. 
    3. Duplicate stitch: Some of the designs on the ornaments are added by using color 3 and duplicate stitch technique. Duplicate stitch can also be used to add a third color to the cuff of the mittens, if not adding beads. 
    4. Adding beads (optional): To make your mittens more festive and sparkly, consider adding beads to the stitches marked with a B on the chart.
