Quick Christmas Gifts: Timothy Broken Rib Fingerless Gloves - Straight needles

Yesterday, I posted this pattern using double-pointed needles.  I understand that no everyone is comfortable with DPNs and to make this as quick and easy as possible, this is the pattern on straight needles. It is still quick, easy and cute!

Timothy Broken Rib Fingerless gloves

Materials:

·        1 skein Deborah Norville Everyday Soft Worsted

·        US #9 needles

·        Yarn needle

·         

Knitting Gauge: 16 stitches/20 rows  = 4" – Gauge is not critical because this pattern has a lot of stretch.

Size: One size will fit some adults. 

Cast on 40 stitches..

Work the broken rib stitch as follows:

Round 1 – Slip 1 stitch purlwise. k1, p1 to end of the row. 

Round 2 – Slip 1 stitch purlwise, p3, k1. *K1, P3, K1* to end of row.

Continue the broken rib pattern until the gloves measures 10½ inches.

Bind off loosely in pattern. 

Using whip stitch, sew up 6 inches up the side from the bottom. Break yarn. Sew 2½” from the top; break yarn. This will leave 2” for the thumb hole.

Weave in the ends.

Make second gloves the same way. Wear in warmth!
