/interweave-knitting-glossary.NOTES- These mitts are worked in the round
from the bottom up. - The chart is worked using the
stranded method. Always pick up the
background color over the pattern
color and pick up the pattern color
from under the background color;
this will prevent tangling. Keep
floats loose.
