The yardage given is for two pairs of mitts.

I was able to get exactly 10 entrelac panels out of two skeins of the Premier Yarns Serenity Garden yarn. (And I mean exactly. I had to steal a few yards of matching yarn from my stash - I have no idea what it was - to finish the 10th panel.) Four of the panels were used for these two pairs of mitts. The other six were used for other projects (these mitts and these gloves). The length of the color repeat was such that I did not end up with any 2 panels that matched exactly, but when paired up in the order that I made them it was pretty close.

I made a few modifications to the construction of these mitts. Rather than bind off the palm portion, seaming (leaving the hole for the thumb) and then picking up stitches for the thumb, I bound off 6 stitches at the cuff end and 10 stitches at the top end and left the center 14 stitches live. I placed the live stitches on waste yarn and seamed the top and bottom bound off stitches to the entrelac panel. Then when working the thumb I placed those 14 stitches on my circular needle and picked up 16 more stitches along the entrelac edge (14 along the side and 1 additional stitch at each end), for the total of 30 thumb stitches. This eliminates the seam on the palm side of the thumb. I felt the thumb was rather large, especially compared to the snug fit of the other fingers, so I decreased an additional 2 stitches twice several rows after the round of thumb decreases included in the pattern. I also picked up 2 additional stitches for the pinkie finger which I think gives a little more comfortable fit, and I added one more stitch to the ribbing section beginning and ending the ribbing with 2 knit stitches to make the seaming easier. (I used a sort of modified Mattress Stitch seaming the side edge of the ribbing to the edge of the entrelac.)

These mitts were made on a 47” US size 3 circular needle and size 3 double points. I used a US size 4 to bind off, and used Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off for the ribbing.
