This is where I got the make them longer idea for the pattern itself. This has the extra repeat of the pattern for the cuff, and they’re nice for longer coverage

I did the A chart backwards with k2tog instead of ssk.

48 stitches, four repeats, and I added 1 stitch and then inc’ed on both sides to 15 between 2 repeats.

If I were to do them again, and I probably will, I’d probably have fewer repeats of the initial part of the pattern, as I did 1 1/2 and then did the thumb and then another 1/2 repeat above the thumb, so 2 1/2 repeats all together.

A chart for the backwards and k2tog way I did the pattern is in the “Lazy Mermaid Mitts” blog post, at the bottom.
