AvonelleRed’s Fingerless Gloves
US Size 3/3.25 mm circular needles - note that part of the warmers are knit flat, and later joined in the round and finished. Gauge is not super-important, and I didn’t check it.
Highlighted areas are just to show where things change, so that you don’t get lost in the pattern and forget to change to the next thing.
Multiples of 4 plus 2 for stitch pattern.
*Wrap and turn: Knit or purl in pattern. After your last pattern stitch, slip the next stitch purl-wise onto your right needle. Bring your working yarn to the front, then slip the same stitch from the right needle back onto the left needle. Turn the work to the other side and begin knitting again.
Cast on 54 stitches for adult large. 52 if knitting in the round. Instructions below are NOT for knitting in the round except where indicated.
