These fingerless gloves are knit in the round on a 16” circular needle with steeks dividing them, then cut apart and finished with a button band. They are a good way to gain experience with steeks on a small project.

The finished gloves are approximately 8.5 inches around the palm and about 6 inches long. They can be made larger or smaller by changing gauge or by adding pattern repeats for either length or circumference. If changing the circumference, the location for the thumb may need to be adjusted.

The gloves require approximately 270 yards in two or more colors. The pattern includes charts and directions for either two or four colors, but can be adjusted to use more or fewer colors. For four colors, 70 yards each should be enough for average sized hands.

The ribbing is knit with a needle one to two sizes smaller than the needle for the main pattern. It is best knit on a 16 inch circular needle and double pointed needles the same size as the smaller circular needle for knitting the thumb.

The bottom photo is an example of a different colorway that can be made by changing out yarn colors.
