Notes

Birthday pressie for my Dad :)
I bought Cascade 220 but it was really thin and looked terrible when knit at a worsted gauge. Looks great knit as a DK though.

Love this pattern, especially the thumb gusset. After having my hubby hand-model for the pics, I think I’ve got to knit another pair ;)

I followed mods by wannabe as follows;
Gusset: Knit to 22 sts, PM, M1R, knit 2, M1L, PM.
Knit round.
Knit to marker, M1R, knit to marker, M1L, slm.
Knit round.
Continue till increased 16 stitches.
Thumb: Pick up 18 sts. K2tog twice on round before ribbing.
