Notes

The original pair of Serpentinite Gauntlets are a bit smaller and shorter than Lucy wanted--the hazards of knitting for someone across the continent--so Annie adopted them and I’m knitting Lucy a new pair.

This time I’ll start on round 73, using one size larger needles than before, and will include the wrist gusset as appropriate. Other than that, I’ll follow what I did on the last pair.

To incorporate smaller gusset, cast on 72 stitches, work 10 rounds of rib, k 1 round plain. Begin chart.

I don’t love the gusset pattern, especially since I’d only be doing the stripey bit, so I’m just going to use a section of the palm pattern for my gusset.

Ok, notes on the fingers in case this is something that needs to happen again once these are worn out:
Thumb: 1 round plain, then 5 rounds rib over 22 stitches.

3 rounds plain after finishing stranded area, then use last 13 stitches plus cast on 3 for pinky; 6 rounds rib.
Pick up 3 stitches, and work 3 more rounds plain, then start the rest of the fingers. Ring: 8/7 (plus the 3 picked up after the pinky), cast on 2; 7 rounds rib. Middle: 9/7, pick up 2, cast on 2, 7 rounds rib. Index: 10/8, pick up 2, 7 rounds rib.
