Pattern

With G hook chain 12.

Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook and each chain across. Turn.-------------11 sc
Row 2: Working in back loops only, ch 1 ( not counted as a st) , 1 sc in back loop of the same st as ch 1, 1 sc in
back loop of next 10 stitches. Turn.----------------- 11 sc

Repeat Row 2 till your work measures 7 inches. Do not stretch your band while measuring. Now slip stitch the
two shorter ends together inserting your hook through the front loops of the stitches on your last row and the
free loops on the very first row to form a circular band as show in Pic 1 below. See Stitch explanation for
working in front loops. I got 14 ridges in the band including the ridge formed by slip stitching the ends together.
Now the rest of the mittens will be worked in the round.

Round 1: Ch 1( does not count as a st), proceed to work a round of sc all around the band , making 1 sc in each
sc row end ( one in each ridge and trough). Sl st to the first sc. Do not turn. See Pic 2 below. --------- 28 sc
Round 2: Ch 3 ( counts as first esc and ch 1), skip 1 st, *(1 esc in next st, ch 1 , skip 1 st), repeat from * till end
of the round. You would have reached the beginning ch 3, do not turn.---------------- 14 esc in the round.

Note: Esc is the stitch right before it to the right and not the one right on top of it. See Pic 3 below to find out
where to insert your hook to make an esc.

Round 3: Work 1 esc into top of beginning chain 2 of previous round, place a marker in the esc you just made.
The marker will show you where Round 3 started. *(1 esc in next esc, ch 1, sk 1 st), repeat from * till you reach
back near the marked st. Do not turn.---------------- 14 esc
Round 4: 1 esc in marked st, move the marker up into the esc you just made, ch 1, sk 1 st, *(1 esc in next esc, ch
1, sk 1 st), repeat from * till you reach back near the marked st. Do not turn.---------------- 14 esc

Repeat Round 4 four more times. Every time you reach back near the marked stitch you would have completed
one round.

For Left Mitten Only

Next Round ( Round 9): 1 esc in marked st, move the marker up into the esc you just made, ch 1, sk 1 st, *(1
esc in next esc, ch 1, sk 1 st), repeat from * 2 times, 1 esc in next esc, chain 3 loosely, skip a total of 3 stitches,
*(1 esc in next esc, ch 1, sk 1 st), repeat from * till you reach back near the marked st. Do not turn.----------------

13 esc

The skipped stitches will form the hole for your thumb.

For Right Mitten Only

Next Round ( Round 9) : 1 esc in marked st, move the marker up into the esc you just made, ch 1, sk 1 st, *(1
esc in next esc, ch 1, sk 1 st), repeat from * 8 times, 1 esc in next esc, chain 3 loosely, skip a total of 3 stitches,
*(1 esc in next esc, ch 1, sk 1 st), repeat from * till you reach back near the marked st. Do not turn.----------------
13 esc

The skipped stitches will form the hole for your thumb.

Continue for both Right and Left Mittens

Round 10: 1 esc in marked st, move the marker up into the esc you just made, ch 1, sk 1 st, *(1 esc in next esc,
ch 1, sk 1 st), repeat from * till you reach the chain 3 of previous round, work 1 esc into the ch-3 space, ch 1, *(1
esc in next esc, ch 1, sk 1 st), repeat from * till your reach back near the marked st. Do not turn.---------------- 14
esc

Round 11 & 12: 1 esc in marked st, move the marker up into the esc you just made, ch 1, sk 1 st, *(1 esc in next
esc, ch 1, sk 1 st), repeat from * till you reach back near the marked st. Do not turn.---------------- 14 esc

Round 13 ( Last Round): 1 regular sc in the marked esc, sl st to the next ch 1. This would have evened out the
edges. Ch 1, 1 sc in next st and each st across, sl st to beginning ch 1. Fasten off.

Finishing
Weave in any tails left and sew two wooden buttons onto the ribbed band for embellishment.
