They are so beautiful. I think I might need to go find this pattern on Ravelry. I don't knit well on dpns though, so I'm appropriately intimidated! WOW!!! They are so beautiful.

The next row is tedious....picking up one stitch from the cast on row and knitting it together with the live stitch from the same "column" 20 rows later. Continue to pick up and knit 2 together all the way around the row. The bumps of the purl row should now be the start of the cuff. It leaves the cuff looking very professional, twice as thick as the mitten, and it avoids inches of ribbing! I've used this technique on hats, and the Turkish baby socks.
