Notes

Followed the pattern mostly as written, but adjusted the number of rows to fit his slender wrists.
Did 29 rows before thumb & 28 after.
Modified the cast off in that I did k2tog directly into the last row & cast on edge, and bound off in the normal way.

He wants me to add circles to the palms so that they “will be like Iron Man”. I’m currently thinking on this, but suspect that crocheting onto the surface of the fabric will give me the nicest look.

Oh neat, I like how they changed adding notes to projects. Thanks Ravelry Team!
Anyway, I was going to say that I managed to finish the mitts today. I ended up just crocheting circles and sewing them on after. Easier to make sure it was round? I don’t know, but easier for this novice crocheter to manage.

Size F (3.75mm hook)
I did 6 single crochet into a magic loop and then increased 6 stitches every round until I had 30 stitches on round 5. I closed it up and left a very long tail to sew it onto the mitt. I think I used a whip stitch? I just made sure to check every couple of stitches that I wasn’t sewing the glove shut.
I also had a small tail from the start of the circle, I pulled that to the inside and so the circles are secured in the center as well. Hopefully it will stop any odd puckering.
