Glovelies - Free Pattern

Just moving this pattern over from The Point's blog, so the free pattern goodness will live on . . . 


Glovelies
Fingerless ribbed arm warmers
By Erin Ruth

Materials: 2 balls of Sublime Organic Merino (113 yds/ball)
Size 6 (or size needed to obtain gauge!) double-pointed needles

Gauge: 5.5 sts/in in stockinette (6 sts/in in 1×2 rib)

Cast on 42 sts.
Join in the round.
(K1, p2) around for every round until you have a 12” tube.

Creating Thumb Hole:
Using scrap yarn instead of working yarn, knit the first 8 sts of round.
Turn and work back across these 8 sts, still using scrap yarn.

Pick up the working yarn again and knit in (K1, p2) rib over the 8 scrap yarn and continue on around the round.
Work in pattern for 1.5” more.
Bind off loosely in pattern.

Make Thumb:
Carefully pull out the scrap yarn, one stitch at a time. As you remove the scrap yarn place each stitch on your needle. You should end up with 8 sts on the bottom and 8 sts across the top for 16 sts total. Divide these sts on 3 needles, join yarn, and begin working in the round, maintaining the established rib pattern. When you get to the corner between the top and bottom stitch, pick up and knit one stitch in each corner for a total of 18 sts. Knit these 18 sts in (k1, p2) rib for 1”. Bind off loosely in pattern.

Finishing: Use the tail where you joined yarn at the thumb to tighten up the corners – there will be small gaps where the stitches turn. Weave in ends.

Everything is Hunky-Dory

One more free hat pattern - this is actually mine . . .

        Hunky-Dory Hat

Design by Erin Ruth
Sizes: infant (toddler, adult small, adult large) 

Materials: 1 (1,1,2) skeins of Alchemy’s Synchronicity (50% wool 50% silk, 118 yds)
         16” size 7 circular needle
         16” size 4 circular needle
         Size 7 double-pointed needles
(Note: For the infant size most knitters will find it more comfortable to work the whole hat on double points.)

Gauge: 5 sts/in on larger needle

Hat Band:
With smaller needles cast on 88 (96, 104, 112) sts. 
Join in the round and place marker at the beginning of round. 
(p2, k6) to end of round for 3 rounds. 

Hat Body:
Switch to larger needle to begin mock- cable pattern.

Round 1: (p2, k3, k2tog, k1, yo) repeat to end of round
Round 2, 4, 6 & 8: (p2, k6) to end of round
Round 3: (p2, k2, k2tog, k1, yo, k1) repeat to end of round
Round 5: (p2, k1, k2tog, k1, yo, k2) repeat to end of round
Round 7: (p2, k2tog, k1, yo, k3) repeat to end of round

Repeat these 8 rounds 4 (4, 5, 6) times (or until hat is desired length - try it on! - just make sure to end on round 8).

Crown Decreases:
As you decrease around the crown, switch to double-pointed needles when there are too few stitches to knit comfortably on 16” circulars.

Round 1: (p2, k3, k2tog, k1) repeat to end of round
Round 2: (p2, k2, k2tog, k1) repeat to end of round
Round 3: (p2, k1, k2tog, k1) repeat to end of round
Round 4: (p2, k2tog, k1) repeat to end of round
Round 5: (p2tog, k2) repeat to end of round
Round 6: (k2tog, k1) repeat to end of round
Round 7: k2tog all the way around
 You will now have only 11 (12, 13, 14) sts left.

Finishing: Cut yarn leaving a long tail. Using a darning needle thread remaing stitches onto the tail and off of the needles. Pull yarn tight drawing the stitches closed at the top of the hat. Weave in ends.
