Anjou Gloves

A new addition to the Anjou family~ The Anjou fingerless gloves are so fun and quick to knit; a great scrap buster project, perfect for on-the-go knitting, and ideal for gift-knitting. The gloves are casted on at the wrist ribbing, knitted in 2x2 rib before starting slip-stitch pattern and working increases up the hand. The thumb section is then split from the rest of the glove; the two sections are worked separately,  both finishing in 2x2 rib to mirror the wrist. > **There are three elements to the gloves > that are customisable:** > >1. Rolled edge at wrist ribbing: There is an optional rolled edge when > casting on the gloves. The rolled edge > version is stretchier; but you can > forego the rolled edge if you wish. > > 2. Wrist ribbing gauge: Please choose the wrist ribbing needle size based on > your wrist circumference and 2x2 rib > gauge. > > 3. Length of gloves: Please measure the distance from your wrist to the > bottom of your thumb to determine > which length to knit. For a general > idea, the slip-stitch pattern starts > on the wrist for the long version, and > starts at the palm for the short > version. **Sizes:** 1 ( 2 ) 3 ( 4 ) **Palm Circumferences:** 17.5 ( 19 ) 21 ( 23 ) cm / [ 7 ( 7½ ) 8¼ ( 9 ) ”] *For schematics, please see pattern notes section* **Yarns:** *Please use the corresponding yarn weight for the size you'd like* **Fingering ( Sport ) DK ( Worsted ) weight yarn Yarn A:** 48 ( 50 ) 52 ( 56 ) m / [ 52 ( 55 ) 57 ( 61 ) yd ] **Yarn B (Ribbing Yarn):** 90 ( 94 ) 96 ( 100 ) m / [ 98 ( 103 ) 105 ( 109 ) yd ] **Gauges:** 24 sts x 48 rows = 10 cm / 4” in slip-stitch pattern on 3.50 mm / [US 4] needles ( 22 sts x 44 rows = 10 cm / 4” in slip-stitch pattern on 3.75 mm / [US 5] needles ) 20 sts x 40 rows = 10 cm / 4” in slip-stitch pattern on 4.00 mm / [US 6] needles ( 18 sts x 36 rows = 10 cm / 4” in slip-stitch pattern on 5.00 mm / [US 8] needles ) **Suggested Needles:** 3.50 ( 3.75 ) 4.00 ( 5.00 ) mm / US 4 ( 5 ) 6 ( 8 ), 60 cm / 24” needles for slip-stitch section 3.00/*3.25* ( 3.25/*3.50* ) 3.50/*3.75* ( 3.75/*4.00* ) mm / US 2.5/*3* ( 3/*4* ) 4/*5* ( 5/*6* ), 60 cm [24”] needles for wrist ribbing section *Or use needles sizes that obtains gauge* **Notions:** Stitch-holder/waste yarn, tapestry needle
