Notes

Started these in size L with 4mm needles but they would have turned out much too big. So I restarted in size M with 3,5mm needles wich seems to work wonderfully.

This was the perfect project to take with me and knit in class. Its small and portable and even the lace pattern doesn’t require a lot of thinking. Plus they’re really fast to knit. I’ve still got enough of the yarn to knit two more pairs. I just need to think of who to give them to ;)

Modification: To make the thumb gusset longer I continued increasing till i had 19 thumb stitches. This made the thumb too wide.
Next time: Increase every 4th row (instead of every 3rd) to make thumb gusset longer without increasing too much.
