First mitten is finished with the following modifications:

-- Cast on w/contrast color (blue/green mix), rib 1 row, changed to gray, knit 1 row, then continued in rib.

-- I wanted a shorter, more close-fitting mitten: worked to round 83, started decreases as on the longer option (for the small-size mitten) on round 84. Continued with pattern but did decreases to round 97 - no dots on round 96. Added 2 more rounds of decreases, in gray, to round 98 to end with 22 sts. total.

-- Thumb: Keeping continuity of the fair isle patterning, did not knit rounds 21 and 26 inclusive.
