About this template
The 25-column, 31-row sketch includes a ribbed base, a centred diamond-and-branch motif and mirrored decrease symbols near the top. The rectangular grid does not resolve a narrowing hand shape or changing stitch counts. It is a mitten-back design study; palm, thumb, fit, count reconciliation and finishing require a tested construction.
Make it yours
Replace the centre motif, mirror it for the second hand, and adjust the panel only after measuring hand circumference and checking colourwork gauge and float tension.
