They were finally finished and given to her about 9 months after her birthday. Despite this, she loves them and wears them all the time.
With that, I give you black striped fingerless gloves!
Black Striped Fingerless Gloves:
Yarn: Lion Brand Microspun
1 ball "ebony"
5 yards each "turqoise," "purple," "fuchsia," "royal blue," "buttercup," and "lime"
This yarn is really soft and really cheap. It splits easily, which can be annoying, but it yields a beautiful finished project.
Notes: The color sequence is reversed on the second glove at Thea's request.
Stitch Pattern: Round 1: K3, P3 repeat to end of round
Round 2: K1, P1 repeat to end of round
CO 42 sts on 3 DPN's, join into a round.
Cuff: Work st. pattern to desired length until thumb gusset, I had 40 rounds. My stripes are spaced 8 rounds apart, with 2 rounds per stripe.
Gusset:
Round 1: Work the 41st round until there are 7 sts left on the last needle. Place marker, P1, make 1, K3, make 1, P1, place marker, work remaining 2 st in the stitch pattern.
Rounds 2 and 3: Work as established. Round 4: Work to first marker, slip marker, P1, make 1, K5, make 1, P1, work the remaining two sts in the stitch pattern. Work rounds 2-4 four times total. (increasing the number of knit stitches in between the purl gusset stitches as established).
Work 1 round even. On the next round, bind off all of the knitted stitches of the gusset.
On the next round, CO 3 stitches over the bound off section.
Work established pattern for 9 more rounds (or to desired length) and bind off.
Weave in all ends.
