Notes

Cast on and bound off the first mitten ~24 hours. Really nice pattern, very snug mittens. Maybe a SMIDGE short, but then they will probably stretch a little.

Now trying to decide if I should go through the trouble of trying to make a perfect match, or make them intentionally different… Or maybe mirrored

Both mittens + thumbs done. Saving ends for HPKCHC Detention and HaR WIP Sssssneak Attack

Thanks to Stormrage, I had the guts to make them very non-matching :D

Ends done!

If I make them again, I would make the thumb a little bit longer and the stockinette before increasing for the thumb gusset a few rounds longer. I also prefer 2x2 rib to 1x1 rib so I might try that for the next pair :)

Also, note to self. When sewing in the top end, pull tight and go around one more time to keep the top hole closed!
