Mom loved my friend’s Mitts so much that I decided to make her a fingerless mitts as well.
Started in the Large and it seemed big, so I ripped and CO the medium size then as I was nearly done to do the 2nd lace at the top, I tried it out and it was way too tight.

Ripped it again and started with the large. I should abide by the golden rule, listen to your gauge.
Getting about 8-9 sts/inch, so these mitts are smaller than pattern but they fit her hands. Can’t fix my pooling issue though.

She loves them and her hands are small and they fit perfectly, but on their own, they look like children’s mitts even though I knitted the large. Now that I’ve finished a pair, everyone wants one, including me, so will cast on another!
