Designer Tips:
• For longer length in the hands, you can repeat rnd 16 until desired length
• For longer length in the thumb, you can repeat rnd 7 of the thumb until desired length
• For wider mittens, you can use a larger gauge crochet hook or repeat rnd 4 of the hand pattern until desired width is achieved.  For a wider thumb, increase number of stitches in rnd 2 until desired width is achieved.
