So, this pattern was one of the first that I found on Ravelry. It was my initial goal to be able to knit these when I started knitting again. It took a while, but I finally got comfortable enough to use my good yarn to make a pair.
Luckily, I over-bought, cause these are just a little snug for me. I'll have to use a size 7 instead of 6 for my next pair.
Here's the pattern.
Modifications I made:
-Sz 6 knitting needles
-1/2 inch buttons
-instead of purling a round in the MC then knitting in CC, I switched to CC, knitted a round, purled a round, then bound off. It made the contrast a touch thicker than at the bottom, but I think I'm the only one that notices.
-I used Knit Picks Shine worsted yarn (60% Pima Cotton, 40% Modal® natural beech wood fiber) and the finished product was very polished looking! I was very pleased with the end result!
I never thought I'd be anxious for cooler weather! I really want to show these off!
