This is a pattern for a lined pair of mittens worked from the bottom up and in the round, using the stranded colourwork technique.
Stitches are provisionally cast on, before working Tvinnarand braid/plait, the wrist, and then mitten chart. Then you will rejoin lining yarn and work lining in stockinette following your mitten and chart (in a needle 1 size smaller than you used for outer mitten).
If you would rather not work the lining, cast on sts and then work a 4 - 8 rounds of rib before working braid and charts (you may want to use the Ladderback, also called, Invisible Jacquard) technique. There is an explanation with sample and image on page 6 to help you with this technique.
There are charts for Left and Right mittens. Size is determined by the needle size (a chart with a slightly larger thumb width is also included, if needed). Lighter Mitten charts are on pages 8 - 12, if these work better with your printer or viewing platform.
