1 dc into each on the five ch , 1 ch to turn

Complete as first mitten.

Note from me: I adjusted the figures afterwards to make a larger size. The first size fits me with some
space and I have a small hand. The only part to watch is the starting the thumb rows. Just ensure
that the seam runs down the inside of the thumb. Being as I am very left handed I have to visualise
in my mind how a right-handed person works. I win some and I lose some.

Brown/Autumnal pair changing yarn colours every two rows. Work the first 6 rows. The following rows are worked by working into the first dc and every alternate stitch is worked into the stitch immediately under the next. It had worked out fine. An adjustment of dc was needed the chain 5 for the thumb.
