Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight, 100% wool
• Needles: US 4 (3.5 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Make sure the stitches are not twisted and join to work in the round.
2. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1) for 10 rounds. This will create a snug cuff for your gloves.
3. Begin Leaf Motif Pattern:
   • Round 1: *K2, P2, K4, P2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 2: Repeat Round 1.
   • Round 3: *K2, P2, K2, yo, ssk, P2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 4: Repeat Round 1.
4. Continue Leaf Motif: Continue in this pattern, shifting the leaf motif by one stitch every 4 rounds to create a spiraling effect. Keep working until the gloves measure 6 inches from the cast-on edge.
5. Create Thumb Opening:
   • Bind off 6 stitches, then continue in pattern to the end of the round.
   • On the next round, cast on 6 stitches over the bound-off stitches to create the thumb opening.
6. Continue Knitting: Continue in pattern for an additional 2 inches after creating the thumb opening.
7. Finish with Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing for 5 rounds to finish the top of the gloves.
8. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the gloves have a comfortable fit.
9. Weave in Ends: Finally, weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle to give your gloves a polished look.

Now you have your very own pair of Frosted Fern Fingerless Gloves! Enjoy the warmth and elegance they bring to your winter wardrobe.
