Notes

Yarn held double

This yarn is sooo soft. My daughter has “texture” issues and she loves this yarn.

I changed the pattern a bit for the thumb increases. Used a “traditional” M1R and M1L by picking up the running thread and twisting accordingly.

BUT…the first pair I made I followed Shana’s pattern exactly for the thumb increases. I like the way that looks much better. The line at the edge of the increases is more clean and defined using the pattern as written.

Cast on with size 4 needles. Will go up to size 5 for the body.

Total starting weight is 109 g
Yarn split into two balls - one 54 g and the other 55 g.

CORRECTION - cast on was actually size 3 needles. Oops. But it worked out great! I used size 3 for the ribbing at the end also.

Mitt 1 is done except the thumb. Started mitt 2. Will complete both thumbs at the end.
