What a great little pattern. So versatile too. I've tried it on several yarn plys and it works a treat. I did wonder what 'c1' was ??? However, it soon became clear on realising it meant 'cable' - doh! Thank you Kirsten Hypsky. Just what I needed for that extra Christmas presie.

Thank you JD for your quick response. I goofed on row 8 with yarn over not correctly applied. I unravelled from this row, and reknitted. Everything worked out with row 12 having 30 stitches.

I have attempted to make this fingerless mitts but never got past the first 12 rows (as I have to abandon project 3 times as row 13 was impossible to knit). It would help me if the pattern had listed the number of stiches after the 12th row? Row 8 had knit 2 together, therefore the number of stiches had decreased. How do you start row 13, obviously I no longer had 30 stitches? The pattern had not listed any increases anywhere?

Hi mleewo 7602900, The instructions indicate to "Repeat Rows 1-12 a total of 5 times," so it looks like Row 13 is all knit stitches (Row 1). Row 14 would be k2, p to last st, k1 (row 2)...so on and so forth. Also, you'll be doing yarn overs with the k2tog. The yarn overs will even out your rows because of the increased stitches. Hope this helps! -Editors of AllFreeKnitting

Nice and easy to knit after I had worked out the C1 over 2 left etc. Thanks to the comments above and Google it was fine. Knit a pair in an evening will definitely knit again and maybe alter the cable pattern. Great base pattern to add a twist yourself. Thanks.

When I first saw this project I fell in love with the look, I was a little intimidated to start, but found myself sailing right through it. My first and only pair so far, was incredibly easy. Thank you for the share.

I think some was confused : c1 over 2 left looks more like a crochet move instead of a knit! No response from the editor either.
percy1me2 2421782
Oct 22, 2014
Confused me too. So I looked it up on you tube and there it was. It's the same as a "Right twist" or "Left twist". Simple if the codes were the same ;) Have a look. Easier to watch than describe. Happy knitting ;)

What does c1 over 2 left or right mean. Thanks
ahuggett6302014 57 72838
Jun 30, 2014
C1 over 2 left is a cable instruction. Written in full it would look like "cable 1 stitch over 2 stitches to the left." This means that you would place one stitch on a cable hook, knit two stitches, and then pick up the stitch either in front of or behind those two stitches and then knit the stitch.

they help to support my wrists and keep them limber during these cold months. I may have to add a little extra to almost cover my palms and the upper fingers as my fingers get very cold.

ljhuff 1595414

I think I'd make these slightly longer if I were to make them so that I'd keep my wrists warm. It would be nice to have a "legend" to explain the "c1 over 2 left" as this is not terminology I'm familiar with. I've completed cable projects before but I'm not clear on that part.
Nekzara 3149624

I believe it's carry one over two left, and carry one over two right. Either that or cross.

I would love to wear the fingerless mittens. Many times while wearing gloves, I've had to remove them to do certain tasks, i.e., using cell phone, finding car keys, etc. The mittens would certainly eliminate the fuss of putting on and off.

I have questions. Not sure what some of your abbreviations mean. Row 1 and 2 what does WS and RS mean. row 6 and row 12 what does c1 mean. I love these and would love to make them but I am new at knitting and want to make sure I understand. Since these are on needles I take it they have to be sewed up when done. When you say leave 1 - 2 inch gap at end - is that like a hole and you sew above it for an inch? Thanks for sharing
