I am doing one at a time as I don’t like juggling multiple balls of yarn & I don’t suffer from ‘second sock syndrome’. I did a regular 1 x 1 rib because I don’t like the look of the twisted rib. I forgot to do round 15, the plain knit round, but these yarns are so similar that it looks fine.

Gee, it’s hard to do M1s at the very beginning & end of the needle, especially with sock yarn & size 1.5 needles. I decided it just wasn’t worth the struggle & hunted for a different chevron pattern. I found an easier one worked over 15 stitches, so I kept 30 stitches on each needle.

I like an elongated thumb gusset, so I started the thumb increases at round 21 & started with one KFB (on the back needle, at the beginning for the right mitt & at the end for the left one.) I did two rounds even between increases & set aside 18 stitches for the thumb. I did one more round, taking me to 47. I KFB at the gap to recover the stitch used to start the thumb increases.

I continued with the pattern through round 65, then changed yarn, did one knit round with the semi solid yarn, then 7 rounds of rib before BO.

For the thumb, I picked up two stitches in the gap, but did not decrease them. I knit 4 rounds, then changed to the other yarn & did 4 rounds of rib.
