Notes

This is a test knit. The cable starts on the inside of the forearm and then wraps around to the front.

I measured my hand and wrist before casting on which was why I did the large. But now that I’ve tried it on I think I could have done the small size. Not that it’s too big, it’s just not a snug fit.

My “Mods”

I placed my BOR stitch marker after the the k2tog and slid both purl stitches to N2 so that my first stitch on N1 was a knit. I did this because I was getting a ladder and I didn’t like it. I probably didn’t need to do that, since I can’t see any ladder now. But it helped ease some anxiety I was feeling at the time. I have since decided that the magic loop is not for me. I would rather deal with DPN’s or seaming than knit with the Magic Loop.

I also omitted some stitch markers once I got familiar with the gusset pattern. (I hate stitch markers)
