Notes

I am knitting this project as a test knit for torirot designs. It can be either mittens or wristwarmers.

The finished measurements are for small or medium depending on your needle size. I chose the larger needle.

Gauge 7.5 stitches on 3mm needle.

There is an option to add an extra flower row to the mittens and I did.

There are two sets of flower charts given, one for the cuff and the other for the main body. Don’t forget to switch over when starting the thumb gusset/increase row.

Pay attention when working the second mitten/wristwarmer. I didn’t and put the thumb gusset in the wrong place, luckily it’s not noticable when wearing the mitts.

I found the thumb to be tight so I went up a needle size on the second mitten. It helped a bit but it would have been better to just add a few stitches. Mind you I have large hands and thumbs.

It’s really hard to get a good mitten picture. I made my husband wear them while I took the shot, lol.
