Comments: The pattern is well written, easy, and knits up quickly. I substituted the fuzzy Amsterdam for the cuff. I also altered the thumb gusset instructions as follows:


Rnd 1: K2, M1R, P1, M1L, patt to end.
Rnd 2: K7, P1, patt to end.
Rnd 3: K2, M1R, K3, M1L, patt to end.
Rnd 4: K9, P1, patt to end.
Rnd 5: K2, M1R, K5, M1L, patt to end.
Rnd 6: K11, P1, patt to end.
Rnd 7: K2, M1R, K7, M1L, patt to end.
Rnd 8: K13, patt to end.

Rnd 9: K2, CO 5 sts using backward loop cast-on, put 9 sts on holder for thumb, patt to end.
Rnd 10: (K4, P1) twice, patt to end.
Rnd 11: K1, sl1 K1 psso, K1, P1, K2tog, patt to end.
Rnd 12: K1, sl1 K1 psso, P2tog, patt to end.
Next rnds: Work in patt until mitt measures 8 inches from beginning. BO all sts in patt.

When you work the thumb make knit stitches where it says purl.



Live long and prosper. \\//
