Then, I knit the arm part shorter, just about 10 cm, instead of the more than 16 cm the pattern directs. After making the thumb gusset, the pattern directs to finish with a 4th row of the pattern repeat (that is, the row where you cross the cables), I knitted one row more, so the cable crossing showed a bit better. And then, on the upper ribbing, I knit two more rows than specified, so it&#8217;d cover more of my fingers.<\/p>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s about it! They&#8217;re very warm, and comfy. I love &#8217;em.<\/p>\n<p>Sade<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here it is! almost two weeks after I finished my mittens, I present them to you.
