And this is exactly what I did for these fingerless gloves; they are knitted in different directions and in one piece – so you only have to weave in two ends for each glove.
The pattern is available
- on Ravelry
- on Loveknitting
- on Payhip
The PDF is 10 pages long and contains:
- a schematic how the mitts are constructed
- written row-by-row instructions for knitting these fingerless gloves (including 8 photos of the different stages) for one size (21 cm high with a circumference of 17 cm at the wrist edge and of 16 cm at the fingers)
- explanations how to adapt the pattern to other sizes
- short photo tutorials of the following techniques
- provisional cast on (with a crochet hook) and how to undo it
- three-needle bind-of
- picking up and knitting stitches from the edge of your knitting
- picking up stitches from gaps (e.g. necessary when changing knitting direction(
- short rows with shadow wraps
To knit this pattern the following techniques are used:
- provisional CO and how to undo it
- three needle BO
- picking up stitches from the edge of a knitted piece
- short rows with shadow wraps
- picking up stitches from a gap (e.g. when doing a thumb gusset)
You need the following materials to knit these fingerless mitts
- about 35 to 40 grams of fingering weight yarn (I used Schoeller Esslinger Wolle, Sockenwolle, Color 0008 "Regenbogen-bunt" - here's the link to the yarn's Ravelry page)
- 3mm needles, for fingerless gloves such as these, I tend to switch between dpns and circulars, but it's possible to use either of them
- in case you only use circulars, you'll a third knitting needle in a similar size for the three-needle BO,
- a stitch holder for the thumb stitches (scrap yarn works well, too)
- 2 stitch markers
- scrap yarn and a crochet hook (about 3mm) for the provisional CO
- a tapestry needle to weave in ends
