Welcome to the Goat Whisperer’s Cabled Fingerless Gloves KAL!
You don’t have to be a goat herder to enjoy these warm mitts! Cabling on the back of the hand adds interest to an otherwise utilitarian accessory. The palms are done in stockinette stitch for a smooth grip. Two ribbed stitches in each pattern repeat offer a snug and comfortable fit for a variety of hand sizes.
In this KAL you will learn how to:
- Knit in the round – one at a time or two at a time
- Knit cables – with or without a cable needle
- M1L and M1R increases
- Knit thumbs
- Cast on and bind off in the round without “jogs” for a more professional finish
Participants must know how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off prior to starting this KAL.
Recommended Supplies
- 200 yards DK or light worsted yarn. We recommend Malabrigo Rios.
- Size US 4 and US 5 (3.5 mm and 3.75 mm) double pointed needles or 32” or longer circular needles
- Brittany cable needles
- Yarn needle
- Stitch markers
