Notes

(Or, as a friend calls them, the Hiddlemitts…)For You-Know-Who (say his name!). Accordingly, for larger hands, I’ve cast on 60 stitches, and will work 5 pattern repeats around, but each over 12 stitches and therefore 10 rounds, thus making them both wider and longer!

No, dammit. Did the ribbing on the first one and I think it was Too Large. So I’ve gone back to the original plan of 55 stitches, with 2 purls between patterns. I might put an extra repeat in, or more likely extra plain rounds to help show off the narrow stripes. (Yes. Two plain rounds between meant the narrow stripes showed better, and I could do 1 row green and 1 yellow where I needed to.)

Finished! And all the ends sewn (securely!) in, washed and blocking now.

Hand delivered to the gentleman-in-question’s agent this morning! (The receptionists were a little bemused by this.)

(And of course, now, all the pics from Thor: Ragnarok come out … and they’ve changed the colours of the outfit. No, I’m not doing another pair in blue and yellow.)
