Notes

I’m a little over on gauge, so I’m making the smallest size, and I think these will be perfect for my mom’s hands.

Okay, I’ve made a few mistakes (ha ha, I’ll call them mods now, so I can repeat them on the second mitt):

Knit 5 1/4” after turning row before thumb gusset. Knit 1” from top of thumb gusset before starting the lace pattern. Only knit 3 rows, instead of 4, on either side of turning row (hoping this will help somewhat to offset the extra length from the first two mistakes---I mean mods). ;-)

Used almost an entire skein, less than 5 yards left (ouch, gauge must have been off more than I realized). LOL. But, they fit well. Good choice to make the small size.
