Pattern notes:
- Easy to make-substitute x-stitch using a treble crochet.
- Looks great in solids and prints.
- Red Heart Super Saver yarn yields a slightly larger mitt but still one size fits all.
- Using larger hook still makes a beautiful mitt and the same overall effect.
- Thumb is adjustable for different sizes by increase or decrease in number of skipped stitches - row 1.
- Do not count turning chain(s). Counting each row should give great results.
