I knit the small size (40 sts) with the 6 stitch button hole for the thumb. I cast on 8 stitches on the next row, then decreased 2 stitches on the next row after that to give a little more room for the thumb.

They fit Claire perfectly.

And I didn’t plan in any way for the stripes to align but they did!

Claire spends all of her Saturdays trailing her multi talented older sister, Emily to all of her show choir competitions, so this is just a small reward.
