A time of high stress and not much time left before a big important deadline is, as everybody knows, the perfect time to start a new knitting project. I ripped out my top down raglan experiment sweater for the time being and started in on these fingerless gloves just in time for it to hit 70 degrees in Seattle. These are Fetching from Knitty, made a little longer and using a tubular cast on and bind off. That little section of orange stitches is where the thumb will be picked up to knit.
I’m using some leftover Dark Horse Fantasy yarn on size 6 needles. I’m using two circulars for most of the project, and dpns for the thumbs.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Cuff circumference: 7 inches (unstretched)
Length: 6.25 inches
MATERIALS
Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran [55% Merino Wool, 33% Microfibre, 12% Cashmere; Approx. 98yd/89m per 50g ball]; Shown in Olive 501 and Black 300; 1-2 balls [many knitters have completed a pair with just one ball, but every knitter is different. Buy two, and if you don't need both for your first pair, make a second.]
1 set of US #6/4mm double-point needles
Safety pin or split ring marker
Cable needle (a double-point needle may be used if you have a set of 5; only 4 are used for this project)
Approx. 12 inches smooth waste yarn in a contrasting color (mercerized cotton works well)
Tapestry needle
GAUGE
21 sts / 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Note: Yarn is worked more tightly than recommended gauge to produce a firm fabric.
