Notes

I made size Small, short length.

I used the German Twisted Cast On.

I used the decrease bind off from Semplice Fingerless Mitts.

I worked 6 rounds of stockinette for the cuff instead of 5 rounds because I wasn’t paying attention.

I worked an extra round even after finishing the thumb increases and before putting the thumb sts on hold - 31 rounds instead of 30 rounds.

I worked 2.25” even after finishing the thumb gusset instead of 1.5” even - 22 rounds instead of 15 rounds.

I knit the thumb 1” long instead of 0.75” long - 11 rounds instead of 8 rounds.

The thumb is a little tight on me. I do have large thumb knuckles, so hopefully it will be fine for Sarah. If I were to make these mitts for myself I would make size Medium so maybe it wouldn’t be an issue.

-Cuff: 1” long (14 rnds)
-Thumb Gusset: 2.75” long (31 rnds)
-Mitt Top: 2.25” long (22 rnds)

The yarn was a gift from Snorsky.
