Version 11/5/2014 - Originally published. Version 11/8/2014 - Changes:
Page 4, Hat, Crown. Error - Rounds 1, 13, and 16 had wrong number of sts left at end of round. (Rounds 1 & 13 wrong for small, Round 16 wrong for large.)
Page 5, Mitts, Wrist/Chart. Error - Both small and large should end by working last 4 sts of Chart B.
Page 5, Mitts, Thumb Gusset, Round 1, Left Mitt. Error - Size large should end with k3.
Page 5, Mitts, Thumb Gusset, Rounds 4-15 [17]. Error - Size large should increase until round 19 (not 17). Also, ending st count wrong for both sizes: should be 60 [72] sts total at end of round.
Page 6, Mitts, Thumb, Rounds 1. Error - Size large should work 9 sts between the k2togs, however this isn't critical.
