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.)

Other Materials Needed: a cable needle, 1-2 stitch holders, a tapestry needle, measuring tape, and embroidery scissors.

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.
