Notes

There’s a first time for everything, and these are my first fingerless mitts. My daughter’s already claimed them.

1 mitt done, about to start the other.
All done!

Instead of m1, it’s k1f&b. I found this video helpful:

For Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off, this video:

and since I don’t knit continental style, I also used

On the thumb, I’m not sure if I picked up the 6 stitches correctly. I ended up with a teeny hole, and maybe with the next mitt, I can be a little more careful.
(The second mitt didn’t have that problem.)

These took maybe half a skein of yarn?
