mitten help

You would need to alternate a knit round with a purl round to get garter stitch. It may be your pattern is supposed to be knit flat and in the round. Does it say to seam the edges when you're done? Do you have a link to it?

goodness, i am such a dunce! for some odd reason, i just assumed that it was knit in the round and didn't even look further on in the instructions! thank you for helping me see my errors

Don't feel like an idiot, we all misread patterns. I'm working on a shawl that starts with a lace edge and misread the dbl decrease. Oh well, it was just a test knit anyway....
