I tried to make a pair of foldback mittens, but accidentally made the tension on the second one higher than the first. At a glance there isn't a visible difference between the two, but when I put the second one on, it feels a bit tighter and the part that folds over the fingers doesn't sit quite right. The Internet suggests I might be able to fix it with blocking, but a friend who knits says I'd probably be better off undoing the whole thing and redoing it.

The yarn is Studio Chunky from Neighborhood Fiber Company, which the site describes as follows:
Super squishy Studio Chunky has a 6-ply construction that keeps pilling to a minimum. Perfect for heavier weight sweaters and cozy accessories.
100% Superwash Merino
125 yards/4 oz
3-4 sts/inch US 9-11

The crochet hook I used is a size 9/I. I've both lost the original pattern and modified it, but if it's relevant I can write it out.

What should I do?
