I know I haven't posted in a while, but that's because I was really busy. Between school, a road trip to Florida, and other activities, I've had no time to write. I apologize.
Since I live in Chicago, where it's super cold in winter, I decided to give a shot at knitting gloves. Knitting fingers seemed to hard, and I kinda wanted to have my fingers free to play guitar and stuff, so I decided on making finger-less gloves. I tried once last year, but I used a different pattern that could be knit on two needles. After knitting a square, you would simply fold it in half and sew the side shut. I really didn't like them that much, because I wanted to have a thumb gusset. So, after searching the web for patterns, I found one I liked, but I improvised it a bit.
Fingerless Gloves Knitting Pattern
Supplies:
4 double pointed needles, size 2 or 3.
I used Lily Sugar n Creme American Stripes Yarn. It is a 100% cotton, worsted weight, 4 ply yarn.
Glove 1:
Cast on 40 stitches on a set of 3 double pointed needles
With the fourth needle, knit 10 rows of *knit 1, purl 1*
Knit 8 rounds of plain
Thumb gusset:
Knit 17 stitches of first round. Place marker, make one, knit one, make one, place marker. Knit rest of round.
Knit 1 round.
Knit to marker, slip marker, make 1, knit 3, make 1, slip marker. Knit rest of stitches in round.
Knit 1 round.
Knit to marker, slip marker, make 1, knit 5, make 1, slip marker. Knit rest of round.
Knit 1 round.
Knit to marker, slip marker, make 1, knit 7, make 1, slip marker. Knit rest of round.

Cast on 2 stitches and continue knitting round. 42 total stitches.
Knit 7 rounds plain.
Knit in "knit 1, purl 1" stitches for 10 rows.

To finish the thumb, move the 14 stitches off the holder and onto three of the double pointed needles.
Pick up the 2 stitches you made earlier.
You now have 16 stitches with which to make the thumb.
Knit 5 rounds.
Bind off.
To finish the glove, sew in all the ends.
Glove 2:
Repeat same steps as above.
I hope you have as fun of a time making these gloves as I had.
