There is also an option to choose how you want the image to present itself: (1) the wearer sees the full image; (2) the image is put together when the mittens are presented to others. More notes on that in the instructions and charts.

3. Stranded colorwork: Follow the charts from right to left. Make sure to catch longer floats using preferred method.
