“Wanderlust” is a fingerless gloves knitting pattern, perfect for spring and autumn!
It incorporates cables for an eye-catching handmade garment and k1p1 ribbing that gives these gloves extra elasticity and ensures they’ll fit most people.
They adjust to the hand and they’re comfortable to wear, without being too loose or too tight.
This is a relatively quick and easy knitting project, given that it’s a small garment and you don’t need to knit the fingers.

The yarn used for the cream sample is Stylecraft Batik DK, a wool and acrylic blend in colour cream 1900 and the needles are 2.5mm/US 1.5 circular needles, knitted using the magic loop method.

You will need two 50g skeins because the pattern uses approximately 75-80g of yarn, or 220m/242yds total.

The gauge is 20x22 sts in a 5x5cm/2x2” blocked and unstretched swatch in k1p1 ribbing.

The burgundy sample is knitted in Rosarios4 Merino Land in colour 11, on 3mm/US 2.5 circular needles.
The resulting fabric is thinner, but equally stretchy so it will fit most sizes. Only one 50g skein (220m) is needed.

Keeping a tight and even tension will ensure good, crisp results. A loose tension will affect both the look and the fit of the gloves.

These are one-size-fits-all women’s gloves, they have amazing give since ribbing is so stretchy, yet they can be adjusted further as detailed in the pattern.

Notions and techniques:

Magic Loop on circular needles
k1p1 ribbing
Two-stitch and four-stitch cables
Knit increases m1r and m1l - always knit twisted to avoid holes.
Knit through the front loop for m1r (right leaning increase) and through the back loop for m1l (left leaning increase).
Purl increases (m1rp and m1lp - same as above)
