If you finished with row two of the gusset, however, that *should* correspond with row 4 of the regular pattern, which would make row 1 of the regular pattern the correct place to start next. But if that's not looking right then definitely adjust! I would recommend ripping back to where you're sure things look right and make note of the pattern on that row. Then just make sure you're starting with the next pattern row based on what you've just knit, not necessarily the instructions, if that makes any sense.

But I think I have one last question. I hope it’s the last. I have just put the gusset stitches on a yarn scrap, and the instructions say if I finished the gusset at row 2 to begin with row 1. I did that but the pattern looks wrong, like there are 2 “flat” rows when there should be “bumps,” if that makes sense? I feel like I should have continued with a row 3 in order to follow the pattern appearance.

Apologies! Anyway, Gusset Set-up Row 2 reads like this: m1r, k1, (p1, k2, p1, k1 through back loop (k1-tbl)) 3 times, p1, k2, p1, k1, (k1, slip 1 wyib) 9 times, k1 (+1 stitch) <br /><br />The m1r is a new stitch in that row, so you can't count it as part of the 40 original stitches (since it's the 41st). That means that there are only 21 of the original stitches before the (k1, slip 1 wyib) repetition, and you should be able to complete the remaining 19 stitches afterwards. I can't tell you exactly where you're going wrong, but if you simply can't find the problem, I suggest that you just add a stitch somewhere where it's the least noticeable!Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-16341492304118314752023-11-18T08:25:47.197-08:002023-11-18T08:25:47.197-08:00Please forgive me, I’m still confused! So, I shou...Please forgive me, I’m still confused! So, I should just end with the ninth (k1, slip 1 wyib) and ignore the k1 after that? If I count the stitches for that row, there are 22 stitches before the repeated (k2, slip 1 wyib), or 18 more, accounting for all 40 stitches on my dpns. Therefore, I have nothing left after the ninth repeat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-55781245902046301902023-11-18T07:59:05.003-08:002023-11-18T07:59:05.003-08:00Hi!

Based on your comment, it looks like you're actually on gusset row 2, which reads as follows: <br /><br />Gusset Row 2: knit until you have 12 stitches left on your first dpn, m1r, k1, (p4, k1-tbl) 3 times, p4, k1, (k1, slip 1 wyib) 9 times, k1, m1l, knit until end of round (+2 stitches) (and yes, on your first repeat of this row you will have nothing left to knit after that m1l)<br /><br />Going through this step by step, once you knit until you have 12 left, etc, you should have 40 stitches left (since you'll only be knitting one the first time around). After m1r, k1, (p4, k1-tbl) 3 times, you'll have 24 left. The p4, k1 brings you down to 19 left and the (k1, slip 1 wyib) 9 times, k1 takes care of all of those, leaving you nothing to do but the m1r. <br /><br />Is it possible you're knitting too many stitches in the beginning? :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-18419579797384705412023-03-03T11:40:58.883-08:002023-03-03T11:40:58.883-08:00Gretchen, I am attempting to make these again as I...Gretchen, I am attempting to make these again as I really like the look, but -sorry making size med. pg 4 Gusset Set Up Row 2 (I have 41 st in total 13-16-13, the las dpn i do not have enough stitches to p4, k1 (k1, slip 1 wyib)9 times, k1, m1l, knit until end of round.

If I include the first-needle added stitch from gusset row setup, then I can achieve 9 new on first needle and 8 on third. Otherwise, it’s always going to be the same number of new on first and third.

I had the right stitch count where it says to add 8 stitches to 1st needle and 7 stitches to 3rd needle. On the row where you join the thumb I had 2extra. I added an extra stitch to the scrap yarn on one side of the thumb and k2tog on the other side. I don't think I did anything wrong but you never know. I finished my mitts so don't need a response. This is just an FYI. Also,where it says if you ended after a row 4 start at Row 3 in the next section, mine look like there is an extra row of knit in the patterned part. I wish I could show you a picture. That being said, I love these mitts and intend to knit a few more. Is there a matching hat? I would definitely knit that too!
