This is the second pair that I’ve finished. See my post about the first pair here. I’ve already cast on for pair #3!
The rundown
Pattern: Passport Mitts by Carol E. Herman
Yarn: Ella Rae Lace Merino DK in orange
Size made: Women’s small, but they came out extra little (I forgot to go up a needle size after the cuff)
Needles: US2
Techniques used: Tillybuddy’s very stretchy cast on
Modifications: I added one extra row of K1P1 rib at the beginning as that is what works best with that particular cast on. I also picked up one extra stitch on each side of the thumb gusset, then decreased it on the first thumb round.
Ravelled: here.
The pretty
I’m using the same yarn for another pair. I love them! I love the color, the stitch definition, the cables, everything. The yarn is pretty soft when knitted up. They’re too little for me to even try on (I have big hands) but I have a recipient in mind for them 🙂
Happy knitting!

I like this pair the best. The DK yarn really showed off the stitching.

I really love it in the orange. Such a happy color! I did the same thing on one of my mitts – forgot to go up a needle size.

Love the color and the pattern! The color just pops! Size two though? Man the thought makes my hands ache. Did you use dpns?

Yeah, bamboo ones. I’m pretty sure I almost snapped one in half a few times!

Oh man! Cables on dpns. That is a crazy challenge.
