Notes

The size small is VERY small. Like a young child’s size. I have very small hands for a woman and they are quite tight on me.

I would say if you have average size hands, definitely make the medium if not the large.

As many people have noticed, the Baby Cashmerino is a yarn that is quite splitty. If that type of thing bother’s you, don’t use it. I find splitting only mildly annoying so I would use it again.

There are incorrect numbers in the pattern concerning the thumb. If you do as instructed to increase the thumb gusset, then all of the numbers in the “Set Thumb Aside” section should be increased by one: they should be 6 (7, 8)

Also, all of the instructions for the thumb should have the same changes. The final number of stitches for your thumb will be 14 (16, 18).
