Notes

16-point club:

Techniques: #9 (top down); #13 (fraternal)
Wild Card: #2 different thumb (construction)

3 points total

And pair 1 counting toward
#20 (knit 12 pairs of fingerless mitts for 2 points total)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These mitts are knitted in the colors of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League, hence the name. I reversed the colors for the second mitt, making the mitts “fraternal twins.”

German twisted cast on using Magic Loop

I followed the directions through the thumb gusset.

Modifications:
I did one more thumb gusset decrease so that I once again had 44 stitches. Then I knit 5 rounds plain, 10 rounds of 2 x 2 rib, then 5 rounds plain. I used the sewn bind off.
