This pattern is for a warm pair of thick gloves. We use size 4 US needles and worsted weight yarn to make learning the techniques easier. After you've worked through this pattern, it will be no problem to move on to other, more complicated patterns that use smaller needles and thinner yarn, to make more delicate gloves.

I watched your video on knitting two socks on two circs. I am going to try this with gloves. and I am going to use bobbins and do all the fingers at once. I don't know if anyone has tried this but I'm gonna try it.

[verypinkknits]

@kd0afk Theoretically, it can be done. Brave of you to try it!

Very nice tutorial...I was wondering, instead of using double pointed needles can we use circular needles (the needles that are connected with a cord)?

[verypinkknits]

@fayearv Yes - you can certainly use circular needles instead of DPNs, and use the magic loop method to accommodate the extra cord. But I'll tell you this - circular needles can be pretty cumbersome when you're knitting the tiny fingers of gloves. It works great on the hand part, but you may want to switch to DPNs to knit the fingers.

i have a question. how many long cast-on did you do when you first started?

[verypinkknits]

@cannon515 That information is available in the written pattern. The pattern is available for purchase and immediate download by following the link in the video description, just below the video.

This is really amazing. I am doing some beautiful fingerless gloves for my second knitting project. The pattern lost track of it's own stitch numbers and location of the thumb gusset so I dropped the pattern except for stitch numbers and just used your tutorial. Really helpful. Thank You :)

[verypinkknits]

@maggiecurry Yes - the pattern tells you to "reattach the working yarn" here to continue knitting the hand. If you need help with reattaching the working yarn, watch my video called "Knitting Help - Changing Colors". (Sorry, YouTube won't let me give you a link here in the comments.)

[maggiecurry]

i followed your video and i finish the pinky, but i am really confuse about how i can continue knitting, how can there can a working yawn, how did you make it . if i don't know that i can't continue knitting others fingers

ummm, so thanks for the tutorial, but can you move your hands a bit slower next time?
