Another Day, Another Frog mittens pattern

This is a pattern for a pair of mittens worked from the bottom up and in the round, using the stranded colourwork technique.

There are charts for Left and Right mittens. Finished size is determined by the needle size.

Since there are longer floats over some sections, you may want to use the Ladder-back/Invisible Jacquard technique shown on the last page of this pattern.
