This is my personal knitting blog. I post links to patterns I like by other designers on other websites. I don't own the patterns or distribute them. I'm a late-blooming knitter who learned to knit as an adult. I believe in knitting everywhere - even on the Iron Throne!

Can you knit gloves in the round?

Using a rib stitch to start your gloves will help to create a stretchy cuff. If you are not concerned with making the cuff stretchy, then you may knit all of the stitches in the round instead. Just keep in mind that you will end up with a curled, loose cuff if you knit all the stitches.

How many stitches knit fingerless gloves?

Step 2: Cast on 24 or 28 Stitches. To start the first glove, grab one of your knitting needles and cast on 24 stitches if you have a smaller hand, or 28 stitches for an average to large woman's hand/medium men's hand. Be sure to include the slip knot as the first stitch, so that there are 24/28 and not 25/29 stitches.
