Knitting Fingerless Gloves?

Question

Can someone tell me how to make a pair of fingerless gloves with 2 size 8 needles? I found a youtube video, but I don't understand the knitting 'lingo'..... Any links, people? Thanks!

Answer 1

Well, first you should get familiar with knitting phrases.

I think you'll find this site helpful;

http://www.knittinghelp.com/

They have free how to videos as well..

If you go to www.lionbrand.com you will find a ton of free knitting patterns and last time I checked they did have fingerless glove patterns.

They also have a tutorial section as well if you get stuck.

Happy knitting!

Answer 2

The easiest means to do this may be to google two needle mitten knitting patterns and work the pattern until you are about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 half inches above the thumb gusset (depends on the length of your hand) and then bind off, leaving a long tail (18 inches or so).  Work about an inch or so of thumb stitches, leaving 6 inches or so of tail and seam the seams.

First, get a "knitting lingo" decoder sheet like one here:

Second, I have a pattern on my blog here:

Super easy.

Good luck!
