Notes

CO 34 stitches with the Cestari. After the cuff I added two stitches when I changed to the Sirdar as it knits up smaller.

I did 8 rounds before starting the thumb gusset with one KFB, then increased 2 stitches every 4th round until I had 12 stitches for the thumb opening, plus one more even round.

Bound off the thumb stitches, KFB in first stitch after, then did a total of 14 rounds after separating for the thumb. I did two rounds of purl, then added the solid gray yarn, knit one round & BO with that.

Maximum use of yarn I had left & they turned out nice.
