Contains:
- A fully-tested knitting pattern
- Full charts in several combinations for ease of knitting
- Full written instructions separated into color-coded left and right hand for optional two-at-a-time knitting
- Measurements in inches (imperial) with metric conversions
Materials you need at home:
- 100-120 yards (91-110m) DK or sport weight yarn
- US Sz. 4 (3.5 mm) 40 in. (100cm) circular needle, or size required to get gauge in preferred type for small-circumference circular knitting
- Gauge: 28 stitches and 33 rows = 4 in. (10cm) in 1x5 twisted rib (k1 tbl, p5)
These chic fingerless gloves are knit from the cuff up with an overall twisted stitch and cabled spiderweb pattern. Skills required include working twisted stitches, cables, and twisted ribbing. Directions are given for knitting two gloves at once on one long circular needle, although you can choose to knit them one at a time using whatever type of needles you prefer for knitting in the round.
This pattern is for a pair of adult size small fingerless gloves with a 9.25” (23.5cm) circumference stretched slightly around the widest part of hand including the thumb, an 8” (20.3cm) circumference around the widest part of hand without the thumb, and 7.25” (18.4cm) long from wrist cuff to finger cuff.
The pattern calls for either DK or sport weight yarn, in order to get gauge. (Tighter knitters are more likely to be able to get gauge with DK weight, more relaxed knitters with sport weight.)
Difficulty: Intermediate. (Up to 2 glasses of wine: you do have to pay some attention.) Pattern is presented in written and charted form, but comfort reading charts is helpful for this project.
Tools Needed: a cable needle, 1-2 stitch holders, a tapestry needle, measuring tape, and embroidery scissors.
Rebekah Wilce Designs
I've been knitting and designing since I was a kid. I began developing knitting patterns for Charissa Pray Designs in collaboration with my sister in 2018. My favorite patterns have unusual and spicy stitches and incorporate the natural forms of my off-grid desert home (foxes, spiders, spirals, and knobbly textures), joining traditional elements with the modern, quirky, and even sexy. I believe in a #FashionRevolution and my current work on that revolves around thrifting, quite a bit of visible (and occasional invisible) mending, hand sewing, and knitting.
