Notes

Overall, I’d say I’m very pleased with these. if I were to make another pair of these, I’d probably start with fewer stitches cast on, and probably alter the cables in the front a bit to fit the reduction of stitches. Either that or use even smaller needles. As it is, the gloves fit fine, but they tend to bunch up a bit across the knuckles. I’m going to try sewing in some elastic thread to take care of that.

I think I’m going to add individual partial fingers. Will probably knit up to where I’d start the fingers, put the stitches on a holder, do the second glove up to the same point, and then decide based on how much yarn I have left.
