Basic Fingerless Gloves for Men

Basic Fingerless Gloves for Men

I had made these very simple fingerless gloves for a man using a worsted weight yarn (4) called Red Heart Comfort Yarn (Black)--click here for link to it at Joann's. My husband is "modeling" them. He is a big guy so these should work for most guys but may need to be tweaked for a thinner man.

 I used the sock loom with the metal pegs (since I had projects on my other looms). 

• Use 44 pegs in a round.
• Cast On (I just did an e-wrap cast on)
• Garter Stitch 4 rows (knit a row, purl a row, knit a row, purl a row)
• E-wrap knit 16 rows
• Create thumb hole by moving loops off pegs and moving over like below
•  Knit over when you move the loops over, three pegs should be empty like below

• Work in a "U" for 20 rows
• Now continue doing an e-wrap knitting (wrapping the empty pegs as you go) for 26 rows
• Garter Stitch for 5 rows (knit a row, purl a row, knit a row, purl a row, knit a row)
• Crochet cast off 2 chains in between 
• Done! 

I hope it works for you. 

• Note if you do a flat knit the gloves may become tighter.
• Also if they turn them inside out, the "wrong" side might look cool too.
