pattern, when stretched as worn

It is easy
to adjust the length here ~ by increasing or decreasing the number of rows.

joining
To Complete:
Fold the handwarmer in half
lengthways. Using the cast on tail, join the sides up to 2.5 inches. This is
the bottom of the mitten. Using the cast off tail, join the sides for 2 inches
for the top of the mitten. This should leave a 2.5 inch gap for the thumb.
Darn away ends
