Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your own Frosted Fern Fingerless Gloves:

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches using your double-pointed needles. Distribute the stitches evenly across 4 needles (10 stitches per needle).
2. Join to Work in the Round: Carefully join the stitches to work in the round, ensuring that you do not twist the stitches. This is crucial for a seamless glove.
3. Ribbing: Work in k2, p2 ribbing for 10 rounds. This creates a snug cuff that will hug your wrist.
4. Begin Fern Motif Pattern:
   • Rounds 1-4: Knit all stitches.
   • Round 5: *K2, yo (yarn over), k2tog (knit two together), k1; repeat from * to end of the round. This creates the fern motif.
   • Round 6: Knit all stitches.
5. Repeat Pattern: Continue repeating Rounds 1-6 until the glove measures 6 inches from the cast-on edge.
6. Thumb Opening:
   • On the next round, bind off 6 stitches for the thumb opening, then continue the pattern to the end of the round.
   • On the following round, cast on 6 stitches over the bound-off stitches to create the thumb gusset.
7. Continue Pattern: Keep working in pattern until the glove measures 8 inches from the cast-on edge.
8. Finish with Ribbing: Work in k2, p2 ribbing for 5 rounds to finish the top of the glove.
9. Bind Off: Bind off loosely in pattern to ensure the top of the glove is not too tight.
10. Weave in Ends: Finally, weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle for a clean finish.
