The pattern uses twisted cables for the Pussy Willow design on the back of the hand and a dotted stripe pattern on the palm.
The rounds are worked in stranded colorwork using two colors. There are only nine colorwork rounds in total per mitten.
Otherwise, the mittens are knitted with the main color. The pussy willow stems are crocheted with chain stitches afterward.
If you find crocheting challenging, you can leave the stems out.
