As of May 2011 this pattern has been revised for two sizes - to fit hands 6.25-7.25(7.5-8.25) ins in circumference.

In those transitional seasons of the year, don’t cover your hands with just any mitts. Treat yourself to some delicate, floral-inspired cables with this versatile pattern. The Azalea mitts are offered in two variations – one is a simple fingerless mitt which leaves your fingers and thumb free, and the second is worked with a full mitten top which can be flipped out of the way to reveal cropped fingers. Choose one version or the other, depending on how much chill you want to keep away!
