Letko Fingerless Gloves

Gloves are knitted in the round on circular needles with increases used to form the thumb gusset.
The pattern is written to be worked using the magic loop method. It can be worked on double pointed needles, treat your first two needles as needle I, and the third and fourth needle as needle II.

The cable pattern is easy to memorize and not difficult to knit, however previous experience with cable knitting will be very helpful.

Length can be simply adjusted by numbers of pattern repeats.
