I have made these but it took far longer than 2 hours because I had to fix the mistakes as I went. What I believe is the problem is that the pattern seems to have originally written to be made in the round and was incorrectly translated to be worked flat. There are no complicated adjustments just a few common sense ones.

After realizing the pattern is wrong, I spent 20 minutes adjusting and they are beautiful. I'm on a third pair. so quick and easy. worth the extra effort.
linda25g 7827967
Dec 24, 2017
yes this pattern is badly written! however it doesn't need some of the complicated adjustments already given. Read increase rows as purl rows, increase a stitch by 'purling' into front and back of stitch. T work the thumb, knit 32 stitches (18 plus the 14 for thumb), turn andwork 14 stitches as given for thumb, when thumb is long enough (I did 6 rows of rib) cast off. Then rejoin wool to the 18 stitches on your left needle, knit to end. Continue with 36 stitches to end. Creates a perfect thumb.

I admit I am not an expert knitter but there is something very wrong with this pattern. I tried it three times and that's it. In the time I played with this I could have crocheted a pair. I have made a lot doing that but though knitting a pair would e different. Different it was!!

Although the project says easy be aware if you are a beginner knitter as the instructions are very difficult to follow, it states no gauge and you need to measure the knitting rather than following fixed rows. There are rows where if you follow the pattern you would have 2 knit rows together and so you need a certain skill level to be able to predict what the project will look like before following it. Although I am a fairly advanced knitter it took me longer than 2 hours as I made a few mistakes and had to rewrite parts of the pattern whilst knitting. There are many more fingerless glove patterns on this site that are much more suitable for novice knitters.
Lisa

There are several errors in the pattern and even more on here as corrections. I would not recommend this pattern to a beginner, there are too many mistakes and a beginner might think its their fault when it doesn't turn out correctly.

The basic idea is probably good, but this pattern needs to be adjusted for smaller hands. After reworking a few times, It came out better just working straight to the end without increases, not bothering with the thumb shaping, just leave a thumb opening in the seam.

Jan 16, 2017
I knitted a pair of fingerless gloves like what you described, from another pattern. It had just a thumb opening in the seam so the fit was not as important. I also think it's good to have the thumb free if you are typing or doing other hand work (like knitting!).

Is there a corrected version of the pattern? Is the thumb row increase and second increase row the same, as in amount of sts in the rows?
dube3 4612357

I changed my needle sizes to 3.75 for the ribbing and then4 mm for the body. It makes for a smaller glove that fits better

I am up to the point where you place the last remaining 18 stitches on a second holding needle. (and yes I have several purl rows showing where the increases were). At this point my yarn is at the end of the needle where the 18 stitches are. How do I get to back to the thumb section to begin the "work the thumb"? Do I pull it out of the other end of the yarn ball? Or am I supposed to just take it around (rs or ws) to where thumb is and continue.???? I almost want to put the thumb on the holding needle and do the sides first.
Lisa
May 05, 2015
Usually you would join a new ball and start knitting from where you are directed to in the pattern. The way the pattern is written you can't knit the sides first, in order for the pattern to turn out accordingly and for the thumb to be properly attached, you must work it first as directed in the pattern. Hope this helps.

Pattern is definitely wrong as someone said below - it's missing some purl rows otherwise wouldn't be stockinette stitch. I just switched some purl and knit rows and it was fine. Easy pattern.
kinivan06 8826295

The directions do NOT match the picture of the fingerless gloves. The picture clearly shows the glove to be knit in the stockinet stitch; however the directions would have a row showing purled stitches every time an increase was made.

I've just cast off the thumb stitch. I'm a beginner; not sure how to proceed from there. I know normally when you cast off, you cut the working yarn and pull it through, but I can't do that here because there's more work to finish up. How do I move on to the remaining work to finish it after having finished the thumb? Thank you!
Lisa
Sep 27, 2014
you will cut the yarn and pull it throught just to finish the thumb. After you have completed the thumb, you go back to the stitches on the holding needle and put them back on the knitting needle and follow the directions for these stitches until they are cast off and repeat this for the second holding needle and sew accordingly to make up. you are basically ending in one part of the pattern and restarting the other two, this is so each necessary part is knit separately to be sewn together later. Hope this helps. Happy knitting.

I would like very much to knit these gloves, but I find that the pattern is missing some purl rows. Please make it more clear which rows are increase rows for the thumb and include a purl row. If you could lay it out row by row that would be great. Thanks, Suzy

Hello! I love this pattern but it was a little big for my hands. What is the best way to make it smaller?
Lisa
Aug 25, 2014
The best way to make this pattern smaller would be to go down in yarn weight by one and change the needles size to accommodate the change in yarn. hope this helps.

I hope my comment made it on here. I do not see it yet. It is about the part of the second holding needle. Do you knit those last 18 stitches before putting them on the holder or not. Since we do on the first 18 I assume we do but I want to be certain. Thank you, rita
Lisa
Aug 25, 2014
No, those stitches are going straight to the holder without being worked. Hope this helps.

Just one question. The second part under the 5th decrease.after putting 18 stitches on a holder and Then knitting 14 more and leaving them on the needle do we knit the last 18 and put them on a second holding needle or just put them on without knitting them?? Thank you! I love this pattern so I want to be sure I finish it right!
Lisa
Aug 25, 2014
No, you do not knit them-they go straight to the holder without being worked. Hope this helps.

What are the misprints on this pattern? Also, after binding off the thumb section, what do I do with the yarn? Cut it off? Also how do I pick up and knit the remainder of the stitches to finish the mitt?
Lisa
Aug 25, 2014
There are no misprints in the pattern, it is all there and correct-I've made dozens of these. After you cast off, you continue with the pattern, after you cast off the thumb, you still have stitches being held on the other holder, just continue with the pattern as instructed.

you generally do not cut the yarn unless the pattern states to. using several holding needles means that while on stitches are on a holder you will be using the others, so you wouldn't cut the yarn until the first cast off. hope this helps.

Dear Onix Terevinto, please make corrections to this pattern. New knitters are having a hard time. The corrections would make this pattern an excellent one.

I ended up liking the stitch pattern and used it to bind off as well, If you want stockinette, just be sure to increase on the knit row and purl on the back side. The pattern actually works as in the picture, if you make sure to remain in stockinette when you are increasing. I think that is the error, but the pattern is also nice when you knit the purl row and come up with a raised stitch. It would make a nice place to contrast with another color for a striped effect. This size seems to work well for my hand. I wear a medium size woman's glove, for comparison. I have finished one and will duplicate it, errors and all, but for the next pair I will make the adjustments mentioned above.

Thanks for the corrections and comments. I thought it was me, but not realize that it is the pattern and found the changes helpful. I may adapt it further and actually the stitch that the pattern created is kind of interesting, but I too noticed that the picture is of stockinette. I will see if I can get by with what I have done. It was going great until I got to shaping the thumb. Bobbi

It really amazes me to come on here everyday and see so many people blame the shortcomings of their skills, their computers etc. for things not going their way. Enough already-All Free Knitting simply hosts the links to free patterns for people to use-it is not up to them to control Ravelry or make changes to someone else's creations-if you have issues or find errors, you should contact the creator directly-they are the ones that need to know there is a problem.

"This comment wasn't very nice!!????" Exactly what was NOT nice about it? I'm glad you said something. I think Ravelry should insist that ALL patterns submitted should have been test knitted and errors corrected. I have spent hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong only to find that the directions were incorrect. It's very frustrating. I don't think your comment was rude, or "not very nice". It was upfront and honest and I agree with you. Maybe the person who commented that your response "wasn't very nice" is just being touch today;-) Keep sending honest comments!!

This is a nice pattern and works well on #6 circular needles. You have to modify it a bit as once you finish the K2P2, then all of your other rows are knit rows until you get to the thumb. Someone posted above that there is a mistake in the pattern - and there is - you just have to remember if you are knitting on straight needles to knit a row, pearl a row. Once I figured out the mistake in the pattern, things went good.

Made one of these and it was way too big. Please suggest a smaller version. Thanx
Allycee
Dec 18, 2012
These gloves are huge. For a smaller hand, cast on 26 stitches instead of 36. Then where it says "knit 18", knit 13 instead. The rest of the pattern can be followed with these substitutions. Also, only do 4 increases, not 5. And remember , in order not to get that ridge...you will need to change where it says "knit 1 row, purl 1 row, knit 1 row" - - it should instead be "purl 1 row, knit 1 row, purl 1 row." A lot of modifications needed. But I DO LOVE THIS PATTERN regardless.

Dec 18, 2012
I didn't know what that was either! So I just used another needle of the same size. You don't have to actually move the stitches onto a separate needle...just count on using four needles of the same size - - 2 for "holding" and 2 to work with. I used one metal set and one wooden set so I could tell which were which.

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this pattern! This is very similar to one I used to make years ago, but can't find my copy of the magazine and didn't want to go "by guess and by gosh" as I'm not the patient type. It is getting cold at night here, but my furnace has issues at the moment and it's not warm enough for a wood fire... so it was either knit some of these or give up my internet addiction to Ask.com! Thanks again!

The pattern as written above does not produce the picture shown. In the rows after the increases, it is written as knit one row, purl one row, knit one row, followed by knitting a row w/ increases. When knitted with those instructions, there is a ridge on the outside of the glove after every increase row. The rows following the increase row should be PURL one row, KNIT one row, PURL one row, followed by the knitted increase row. The double pointed instructions or the two needle instructions by lyndasings below are accurate.

Dec 18, 2012
You are totally right, it does leave a ridge. I like a ridge at the first knuckle but not repeatedly at each increase on the hand. Thanks for the workaround. I sorta figured it out as I went along but found myself having to rip out. Also, don't you find that the size of the glove is way too big for most women's hands? I had to take it down from 36 cast-on to a 26 or 28 cast-on to fit my hand, and then reconfigure the entire pattern from there.

I didn't have trouble until the thumb where it says to cast off. Do you cut the yarn then somehow join and continue knitting? or just bind off and continue. However if you keep on there will be a hole.
lyndasings
Jan 01, 2012
Yes, cut the yarn when you cast off the thumb, but leave a long enough tail that you can thread onto a needle when the rest of the glove is finished. Reattach the yarn to knit the stitches that were on the holder. I do this by making a loop that I knit together with the first stitch, always leaving long enough tails to permit sewing the hole together at the base of the thumb and then weaving in the tail on the back of the work. Hope this helps.

Well, I have finished a pair of the two hour fingerless gloves. It did not take two hours, it took my spare time for three days while over and over again I came across things in the pattern that just did not work! Many "froggings" and doings over. But I do now have a pair that works. For example, five increases for the thumb makes the glove too big, even with 4 increases it is a bit loose. 14 stitches for the thumb does not work in k2 p2 ribbing, which requires a multiple of 4 stitches. I am going to re-edit the pattern I posted below and will post it again when I am done!

It took me waaaay longer than two hours. Less time of course when I cast on fewer stitches to fit my smaller hand.

I suggest copying the adapted patterns below onto a new text document. Then do a search for the word "Row" and add hard returns before the word "Row" so that each row is printed on a separate line of text. Easier to follow, and to check off when done.

I have tried to download this pattern but not successful. Is it possible for you to email it to me. This looks like the perfect pattern the way you put it together. I have been looking for a pattern like this. Thank you for your time in re-doing this pattern.

I too found the pattern confusing. It seems to work OK if every instruction "knit one row, purl one row, knit one row" is changed to "purl one row, knit one row, purl one row". If followed as written you end up with horizontal stripes of reverse stockinette stitch. It would help to have the rows numbered so the reader knows exactly what to do. I have not finished the first one yet, but I think I will definitely start over on double pointed needles-- seams are a waste of time when an item can easily be knitted without them! I don't think I have ever seen circular needles with a short enough cord for gloves, so it will be dp needles.

Thank God, I thought I was going nuts trying to do the gloves and have the other one look alike, I had to make it up as I went along, sure do not look like the picture! Looks like most are having trouble. Virginianne

This pattern is terrible. The picture is really nice. But if I followed the pattern it would be a mess so I just winged it! Please proof before posting!!!

It doesn't make sense to me.. K row increase 4 sts,, "Purl 1 row, K another row Thumb increase Knit 18... ? If I just K a row before how can I K the next in Stockenett or do you add on the P rows. How many rows between each thumb addition? And are increases only in K rows

Wanted to print the pattern for the two hour fingerless gloves and had a problem getting it to come up. Was really disappointed that I couldn't get the pattern. Looked like they would be fun to make.

I finally finished a glove and did corrections from the pattern. At the end of each increase where it says knit 1 row then it goes into the next increase with knitting 18, I just didn't knit the row before each increase in the directions. Using # 6 needles instead of 9 really made alot of difference. Good luck to you all making these. They really come out very nice.

@rmetzke 3688980--I take it back, back, back! I am sorry. reading the pattern it made sense to me, knitting it, I knew what was meant, but it makes no sense if you have not knit a lot of mitten thumbs before. I apologize for my stupid response to you!--------From mittens I have done, thumb increases are every other row----she must mean that, but it is hard to know---you are absolutely, right.----also putting the thumb sts on a holder and knitting all of the other sts, back and forth, to the end (following the pattern) then coming back to the thumb sts and finishing the thumb, is pretty standard and saves you from an extra seam. again-I apologize! addie

@rmetzke 3688980 What are you talking about? You are going to scare off new knitters from a clear, easy pattern. See if this is clear? The pattern DOES say the first row is done in knit and to increase over this row, then to P the next row. If you do come across a pattern that is not clear... On single points, St st means k 1 row, p 1 row, k 1 row, p 1 row, etc. After the ribbing, the pattern is in St st, starting with a knit row (which is pretty typical). So... Finish rib then.. In St st, knit, increasing sts evenly, across row. Then, what is the 2nd row in St st? P, so purl the next row. I am just sayin'. addie

Are there any correntions that should be on the pattern other thsan using number 6 needles? Before the thumb increase should the knit row be the thumb increase? There shouldn't be TWO knit rows should there? I made the pattern with #9 needles and it was enormous. It's a nice pattern but someone should try and make it and put the corrections on the pattern. Thanks. Cillyn

I thought this would be an easy project, I didn't understand the directions.

I don't know why size 9 needles were used as the pattern calls for size 6. I made one mitt last night in record time. Although I don't like 2 seams, especially at the thumb. I may try making these on circular needles & put the thumb stitches on a holder & finish at the end. My comment on the instructions is I found the k1 row, p1 row, k1 row confusing after finishing a knitted increase row. Either this should read p1 row, k1 row, p1 row or clarified that the increase row is the first k1 row called for in the pattern. For the person asking how much yarn it takes, a 4 oz. skein is more than enough. I used a 6 oz. sport weight & probably only used 2 oz. or less.

I made one of the gloves from this pattern. Size 9 needles makes this mitt that only a giant would wear. I changed to a size 7 and they are so large, I wish I could include the pictures I took of it. These are giantic. I would not recommend making these. I used worsted weight as suggested. What a waste of my time.

your pattern on these fingerless gloves looks great! Only one thing wrong it doesn't say how much wool you need to knit these? Can you please correct this so that when I buy some yarn I will know how much I need. Thanks, Susan
