Another pair of Fingerless Mits

I'm kind of in love with fingerless mits right now. 

After creating this pattern, I decided that I wanted to make a pair with some awesome fingering weight sock yarn I bought from KnitPicks.

So, i knitted some gauge swatches and put my high school math classes to work!

Materials:
sz 3 US DPN (I used 4)

sz 2 US DPN for ribbing
3 stitch markers
stitch holder or scrap yarn
1- sz 4 needle for bind off
tapestry needle

Yarn:
1 ball Knitpicks Imagination Hand Painted Sock Yarn (I used Seven Dwarves)

Abbrev:
pm - place marker
sm - slip marker
rm - remove marker
ssk - sl 1 kwise, sl 1 pwise, insert L needle thru 2 sl stitches and knit together
k2tog - knit next 2 stitches together
m1R - lift the bar between stitches from back to front, knit thru the front of the stitch
m1L - lift the bar between stitches from front to back, knit thru the back off the stitch
(Here's a video)

Total stitches are listed at the end of decrease and increase rows in bold.

Make 2

C/O 60 stitches with sz 3 needles

Join in round without twisting. Place marker at start of round

Switch to sz 2 and k1, p1 rib for 1-1.5" (This is what I'm going to do with the next pair I make.  The first ones I used a Twisted German Cast On for the ones pictured.  Apparently it doesn't work as well for fingering weight yarn.  You could also start with 3-7 rows of purl stitch instead of ribbing if you're so inclined. If you wish to start with purl rows, stick with the sz 3 needle.)
