I used the German Twisted Cast On.

I used the decrease bind off from Semplice Fingerless Mitts.

I used the smaller needles for the top of the mitt rib.

I worked the first mitt’s thumb per “right mitten” instructions and my first thumb stitch was really big so I reversed the shaping for the second mitt but it didn’t seem to make a difference.

I knit the mitts 2.5” long after finishing the thumb gusset instead of 3” long. I worked 0.5” in stockinette after placing the lifeline for the flip top instead of 1”.

I placed a lifeline for picking up the flip top stitches instead of working that round with 2 strands of yarn.

I knit the flip top 3.5” long instead of 3” long. I worked 1” in stockinette after the rib and before the top shaping instead of 0.5”.

I used conductive thread on the thumb. I worked the first 8 rnds with the main yarn and worked rnds 9-11 and the decrease rnd with a strand of fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of conductive thread.
