I am making these as a gift for someone for Christmas this year, but dang it! I want a pair too!! I love this pattern and the video leaves no questions as to how to work anything up. I am such a visual learner that I have found that I love going to YouTube to figure out stitches!

I have one of these plush and stretchy mitts completed and began working the second just yesterday. The end of the video tells you that to work the second mitt (left hand) you need to work the pattern exactly opposite as you did for the first mitt (right hand), working counter-clockwise, instead of the more comfortable (for someone right handed like me at least) clockwise direction.

I know this is to make the cables work up in the opposite direction for the left hand mitt as they did in the right hand, but did NOT like how long it was taking me and how my tension was drastically different.

SOOO…. I am working them clockwise and wraping the cables in the exact opposite order and direction as I did the first time.

Let me try to put this in words: instead of unwrapping and crossing my cables like for the right hand (from left to right: loop 4 to peg 2, loop 3 to peg 1, loop 2 to peg 4, loop 1 to peg 3) I wrapped them right to left: loop 1 to peg 3, loop 2 to peg 4, loop 3 to peg 1, loop 4 to peg 2.

I will see how this works up and hope that was the only reason to work counter-clockwise.

Update- It is not in fact the only reason to work counter clockwise, my cables turned out just the same on the second mitt as they did the first. I will have to work up another mitt and see what I can do to get great tension and such. I am still giving these as a gift, because, identical cables or not, they turned out beautifully!
