Generously sized, with thumb gusset thumb and a wide cuff, Queen Anne's Lace can be worked to fit many hand sizes and can even be used as a second layer over gloves.

Notes:
There are two charts for this mitten, one for the mitten body and one for the thumb gusset. The mitten body chart is very large. A pdf copy of both charts for these mittens maybe downloaded at www.nancyvandivert.com/chartserrata/. When working in the round, read all chart rows from right-to-left. The mitten chart shows a suggested placement for both the right and left thumbs, but these may be altered to preference. The thumb chart includes both the gusset and thumb top. Again, length may be altered to taste. · To make this mitten larger, add an equal number of stitches on either side of the 3-column blue and white border.
