For a KAL, and for fun!

These are a little shorter on the hand than I like, so they may become a gift. Overall, though, they are not too difficult and very pretty. :)

One more note - as the Chroma changed color, some of the purples were close to the same “color value” as the grey, which means that the contrast is not as high as you might like for color-work…after all, if you’re doing all that work, you want it to show off! On the other hand (see what I did there?), I did make a mistake or two on these, and even I can barely tell…lol!

Mods:
The pattern calls for a cast on of 50, switching to larger needles for the color-work. I don’t want to tie up two needles, so I will cast on 48, then increase evenly to 52 on the first non-rib row, incorporating the extra 2 stitches into the edge stitches.

Also, I’ll do 2x2 rib, because I like it better.
2x2 for 8 rounds over 48, increase to 52 on round 1 of chart, and follow chart as written, slipping 18 for thumb at the proper time.
Rib again for 12 rounds, decreasing to 48 on first round of ribbing, and bind off.
