Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight yarn, 100g
• Needles: US 6 (4mm) double-pointed 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. Distribute the stitches evenly across 4 double-pointed needles (10 stitches per needle).
2. Join in the Round: Carefully join to work in the round, ensuring that the stitches are not twisted. This is crucial for a seamless glove.
3. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing (knit 1, purl 1) for 10 rounds. This will create a snug cuff for your gloves.
4. Begin Cable Pattern: Start the cable pattern as follows:
   • Rounds 1-4: *Knit 2, Purl 2, C4F (Cable 4 Front: slip 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold in front, knit 2, then knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle), Purl 2, repeat from * around.
   • Rounds 5-8: *Knit 2, Purl 2, Knit 4, Purl 2, repeat from * around.
5. Repeat Pattern: Continue repeating Rounds 1-8 until the glove measures 5 inches from the cast-on edge.
6. Thumb Opening: On the next round, bind off 6 stitches for the thumb. Continue working in pattern to the end of the round.
7. Recast for Thumb: On the following round, cast on 6 stitches over the thumb gap to create the thumb opening. Continue in pattern until the glove measures 7 inches from the cast-on edge.
8. Final Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing for an additional 5 rounds to finish the top of the glove.
9. Bind Off: Bind off loosely to ensure the cuff remains stretchy.
10. Finishing: Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle for a clean finish.
