I made these for St. Patrick’s Day. These were ribbed all the way. I used my standard 6 stitch button hole for the thumb. I used all but a tiny ball of the Plucky Knitter Merino. It was a pleasure to work with and I wanted to use it all up. I striped it with a Cascade 220. I lost the ball of the blue yarn and I went out and purchased another skein since I just had to make the second mitt. I could not find it anywhere!!!
