Lots of people loved my Kingdom
gloves. However
I read a lot of comments from people all saying
the same thing – that
they were amazing but too fiddly, too detailed,
and/or too complicated for people to knit, and
wouldn’t it
be nice if they were fingerless? |

DIRECTIONS CO 18 sts. Do not join; cuff is worked back and forth in rows. Set-up Row [WS]: K8, p1, [k2, p1] twice, k3. When working Cuff Chart pattern
as directed below, work as follows: Work Rows 1-12 of Cuff Chart 5[5, 6, 6, 7] times, then
work 1[7, 0, 5, 0] more rows in pattern following Rows
13 and 14 of chart. Break yarn, leaving a tail approx. 6 inches long. Use tail to sew CO edge to BO edge, lining up sts of cable. Lozenge shape formed by cable pattern at join may be longer than other lozenge shapes. WRIST With WS (stockinette st side) facing and beginning at
seam, pick up and k 43[45, 49, 53, 57] sts (approx. 2 sts
