Pattern Notes
This pattern is worked bottom up in the rnd.
Mitt Pattern (right hand)
CO 56 sts, pm, and join for working in the rnd, being careful not to twist the sts.
Bottom Cuff
Rnd 1: *K1tbl, p1; rep from * to end of rnd.

I noticed that both attached charts are titled, on the downloaded chart, as “right hand,” when it is opened. When tapping on left hand, it shows you the right hand. Is there a left hand chart? Thank you for your time and assistance.
Hi Monika,
From the designer:
On the right hand you work sts 1 and 2 a total of 13 times, sts 43 and 44 a total of 3 times. Then the gusset.
On the left hand you work sts 1 and 2 a total of 3 times, sts 43 and 44 a total of 13 times. Then the gusset.
That way you work the thumb gusset for the right hand on the left side of the pattern motive (after 3 repeats of sts 43 and 44).
For the left hand, the gusset slides to the right side of the pattern motive, as you are adding 13 repeats of sts 43 and 44.
Please let me know if this helps! – Nicola, Editor
