✂️ Finishing
Weave in all remaining yarn tails, threading the needle through several stitches for security. Block the mittens lightly on a flat surface to even out the fabric and help the thumbs settle naturally into their sewn positions. A gentle steam or spray blocking works well with acrylic and requires no pinning.

📌 Before You Begin
Turning chains and starting chains do not count as stitches unless the row says so. The number in brackets at the end of each row is the stitch count you should have.
Change colour on the last pull-through of the row before the one that names the new colour, and carry or cut the old colour as you prefer.
Check your gauge before you start. If you have more stitches than the gauge, try a larger hook; fewer, a smaller hook.
The mittens are worked as simple tubes with a separate small thumb tube sewn on afterward, which keeps the pattern beginner-friendly while still giving a snug, wearable shape.
The cuff is worked through the back loop only to create a ribbed texture that stretches nicely around the wrist.
Work in joined rounds throughout, fastening off and weaving in the yarn tail after each piece is complete.
The thumb is positioned on the side seam of the hand, about an inch above where the cuff ends.

🧺 Care Instructions
Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, gently squeeze out excess water, and lay flat to dry. Acrylic is durable and forgiving—avoid high heat and dryers to maintain the fabric's shape.
