Patterned Fingerless Gloves

My Ravelry friend Womaninashoe is coming to Kansas City. It will be cold when she comes,  and she lives in Australia, so I though I would knit her a pair of fingerless gloves. I came up with my own pattern, and I decided to put it on here. So here it is! This pattern can also be paired with my Patterned Scarf! :)



Use US 7 needles. I will use Everyday Soft Worsted yarn, color lot Carnivale yarn, very soft, 100% Acrylic. This pattern makes medium sized gloves. They will be 9 inches long.



Cast on 60 stitches. (Make 2- same patter just fold in half where the seam is on the left for left hand and on the right for right hand.)


Start ribbing P4, K4; repeat for a couple rows until glove measures 1 inch.


1: p5, k5; go until glove measures 1 inch.


2: p 2 rows, knit 2 rows. Alternate rows until glove measures 2 inches.


3: p5, k5; go until glove measures 1 inch.


4: p 2 rows, knit 2 rows. Alternate rows until glove measures 2 inches.


5: p5, k5; go until glove measures 1 inch.


6: p 2 rows, knit 2 rows. Alternate rows until glove measures 2 inches.


7: p5, k5; go until glove measures 1 inch.


8: p 2 rows, knit 2 rows. Alternate rows until glove measures 2 inches.


9: Start ribbing P4, K4; repeat for a couple rows until glove measures 1 inch.




Seam:
Sew up the side* until you reach where the thumb hole should be. Leave a hole big enough for your thumb. Tie off before hole, then start again above. Tie off and you're done!




*[Sew with a yarn needle and same yarn that you used for the glove-saying that for the beginners in seaming :)]
