I'm on a mitten binge. once the temp drops another nitch i'll probably go on a hat binge. for now, mitts for all! i'm diggin' this colour combo too, i call them my "Rainbow Goth" mitts. Hee-Hee!
 

Caveat

1. This pattern seems to work best with the yarn it was designed in, Noro Iro. The mitts are knit on small needles to make sure they are tight and keep out the wind.
 

2. To make sure your M1L & M1R increase stitches don't leave a little hole give it an extra twist.

3. I'll get around to adding more sizes one day, but for now if you have bigger hand consider adding more stitches to the pattern.
