A note about needles from Aylor: "I knit the
mitts using 2 circulars (my personal favorite method for small circumferences)
and used a second set to knit the thumbs while the hand was still on the
needles.This gave me a nice thumb gusset with no holes and no mid-knit cast-on.
I’ve also used this method using 3 dpns for the thumb."
