This revised gusset is much smoother and better-fitting, so I’m happier. But now that I’ve got a good fit on the thumb, I realize that the slipped-stitch hand is a bit snug. I don’t think I’ve ever before used such a relatively-large swathe of slipped-stitch fabric, but I suppose it makes sense that it would pull in a bit more than regular stockinette. The cuff is certainly big enough, so I think it isn’t the number of stitches — especially since I did try the next-larger size first of all, and found the cuff too big. So I think I will rip this back to the braid at the top of the cuff again, and work the hand with needles one size larger, to get a skosh more room ….
