Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in icy blue and snow white
• Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) double-pointed needles
• Gauge: 20 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the long-tail cast-on method, cast on 40 stitches. Make sure to leave a long enough tail for your cast-on.
2. Distribute Stitches: Divide the stitches evenly across four double-pointed needles (10 stitches on each needle). Join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.
3. Ribbing: Work in k2, p2 ribbing for 10 rounds. This creates a snug cuff for your gloves.
4. Begin Cable Pattern:
   • Round 1: *k4, p2, k2, p2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 2: *k4, p2, k2, p2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 3: *C4F (cable 4 front), p2, k2, p2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 4: *k4, p2, k2, p2; repeat from * to end.
5. Repeat the Cable Pattern: Continue repeating these 4 rounds 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 hole. Continue in pattern to the end of the round.
7. Recast for Thumb: On the following round, cast on 6 stitches over the thumb hole using the backward loop method. Continue in pattern until the glove measures 8 inches from the cast-on edge.
8. Final Ribbing: Work in k2, p2 ribbing for 5 rounds to finish the glove.
9. Bind Off: Bind off loosely in pattern to maintain the elasticity of the ribbing.
10. Finishing Touch: Weave in all ends securely using a tapestry needle.
