So, for Benjamin's birthday I created some cute little mitt/fingerless gloves for him. I call them Green(SANS) Thumb. Get it?! Silly I know. This is a pair of fingerless gloves for kids, ages 2-4 I would expect. They are a skoch big on him, and he's two today.
Anyway here is the pattern. It is free for all, please feel free to use it, make them, and give them away! This pattern is not for beginners, mostly because I am not a good pattern writer. Please email me if you have any questions, suggestions, or anything. Here goes.
Yarn- Hazelknits Artisan Sock Yarn in Shady Verdant, 100 or so yards.
Needles- I used size zero 27 inch circulars, but I would recommend size 1 doublepoints. I'm a losse knitter. I don't know why you needed to know that. Shoot. Anyway.
PATTERN!!
WRIST!!
Cast on 48 sts using long tail cast on
Join, being sure not to twist!!
Work K1, P1 ribbing for five rounds
Work K3, P1 ribbing until total piece measures 2 inches, or until it reaches the base of thumb.
THUMB HOLE!!
Work back and forth in K3, P1 ribbing for 3/4 of an inch, slipping the first stitch of every row(creating a nice edge!)
FINISHING!!
Join on a RS row, and begin working in the Round again, doing K3, P1 ribbing for 3 or four rows(or about a quarter of an inch.
Work K1, P1 ribbing for five rows. Bind off.
