Notes

Doing a few mods since Twist is heavier than worsted. CO 39 sts (I like a snug wrist), doing size S/M so added back those 3 missing sts in the increase row. My hand measures the M/L size but with the thicker yarn the Twist is working up just the right size doing the S/M version. Whew!

One other mod is to do a final row of K2tog all the way around for the top of the mitten, then run the tail through the remaining 9 stitches. I like a rounded top.

OOPS - continued the ktbl past the tops of the outer balloons. Eh, not worth ripping back so many rows so I’ll just do the same with the 2nd one too.

First mitten is exactly 50g.
