Since both my FOs are birthday presents and I don’t want to reveal them yet, you get something from the backlog of stuff I never posted. Sorry!
Need a hand?
These gloves were made to match a little scarf thing that I also never posted to this blog. The original pattern calls for an 11, but the designer must have been the tightest knitter on the planet because when I tried to do this on 11s it came out HUGE! So I went down to a more reasonable 9.
I skipped the top of the mitts that would turn them into mittens. Actually, I didn’t skip it. I made one and it looked really, really bad. I do not recommend making flip-top mitts with bulky yarn.
Anyway, here are the modifications to this pattern that I made to make them the way I wanted.
Modified Materials
- 2 colors of bulky weight yarn
- Size 9 DPNs
- k = knit
- p = purl
- yo = yarn over
- M1R = make one leaning right
- M1L = make one leaning left
- Sl = slip
- With A: Knit 2 rows
- With B: 2 rows of K2, Sl1 as if to purl
- Cast on 24 stitches, K2P2 for 3 inches.
- Purl 1 row.
- K2tog, YO around
- Purl 1 row.
- Stockinette or slip stitch pattern around until piece is 6.5 inches.
- M1R, K2, M1L, knit around in pattern
- Knit in pattern for 4 rows
- M1R, K4, M1L, knit around in pattern
- Continue in pattern until piece is 8.5 inches
- Slip 6 stitches on to a stitch holder
- CO 2 stitches, continue around in pattern
I actually used DPNS this time.
Finish

- K2P2 around until piece is near your next pinky knuckle
- Bind off
