Notes

Knitting in the round on two circular needles, here’s a video http://youtu.be/RybPvCNfrT8. Used cable cast on because I think it integrates into the fabric smoothly and it is stretchy.

M1PR and M1PL video

M1L and M1R video

Overall, this pattern was easy but I think a newer knitter might struggle because of a lack of detail in the pattern. Like other people commented, I did get into a rhythm after knitting for a while.

M1R is knit through the front. On second mitt, I abandoned M1PL, it was way too hard because the yarn was so tight.

Used this extra stretchy, no flair BO.

March 24, 2017: picked these up again after a while. In order to match the design for the left hand, I moved the thumb gusset to the end of the row.

Nov 4, 2017: for some reason the second mitt is so much harder than the first. Will.finish.for.winter.
