Sidew ays Sally
A quick easy flat knit. Picture Sally, a 1920's independent woman sitting comfortably waiting for a cable-car to take her to new adventures. Sideways Sally is famous for her flare with cables. Yarn: Brown Sheep Handpaint Originals, HP 110 Mountain Meadow (any DK weight should work fine). 88 yd skein Needle size: US 7 or $4.5\;\mathsf{m m}$ (circ or straight & DPNs), one cable needle Gauge: 5 sts and 6 rows/inch I seriously sugest staying with DK weight, worsted weight does work but wrinkles oddly with a bent wrist. CO 40 sts Knit one row Purl one row Begin repeats of pattern as needed to fit around your hand. I measure 7 inches across my knuckles and did the pattern 7 inches long before binding off.

Using mattress stitch, seam from large cable down approx 2 inches,leave approxa $1\ \frac{1}{2}$ inch gap, seam bottom portion. Thumb: Turn fingerless glove inside out so you are looking at the Ws. Pick-up 15 sts in gap where thumb should be. Knit 2 rows in the round (I used magic-loop style, but you can use magicloop or dpns). For Row 3 K2tog, K3, K2tog, K3, K2tog, K3.
