Notes

Gauge came out is slightly bigger with this yarn than with the madelinetosh DK, so I did 2 fewer rows on the cuff, 2 fewer rows on the stockinette portion of the hand, and 1 fewer row on the top ribbing.

Next time I would probably go down a needle size for Cascade 220, as they’re slightly big for my hands, but they fit my husband’s hands perfectly.

Used the German Twisted cast-on. Or Twisted German cast-on. Whatever.

The mitt for this project is the green one. The blue one in the photo is madelinetosh DK - see this project.
