The pattern is written only.
This is a very quick knit, only took me one day to do both.
So Twisted Mitts pattern was made to match my So Twisted Hat pattern. This has sizes Adult S/M(L/XL) Fits hand: 7.75”- 8.5” (8.5”-9.5”) inches around.
Length is short and long.
This pattern is written for a Worsted/Aran weight yarn. Written instructions only. This uses cables and twisted rib. Twisted rib is simply knitting the stitches through the back loop. I have included tips for working the cables for left-hand knitters.

I will be checking your ravelry project pages to see if you have open or incomplete tests, and to see the quality of your photos (they don’t have to be professional - just clear and with the ability to tell what the project is!)

To test other Worsted/Aran weight yarns with this pattern
To catch any errors
To have already completed projects linked to the pattern upon release
