WESLEY FINGERLESS GLOVES
These Wesley Crusher inspired fingerless gloves are basically a rectangle seamed up one side leaving an opening for the thumb. The ribbing makes up for a lack of shaping. They will fit hands up to 9" around. If you want them bigger, add 4 light gray stitches for every extra inch you need.. YARN I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease because it has all the right colors. Other worsted or DK yarns will work as well. dark gray - Wool-Ease Oxford Grey red - Wool-Ease Cranberry yellow - Wool-Ease Gold blue - Wool-Ease Denim light gray - Wool-Ease Grey Heather NEEDLE I used a US 7 sized needle You will also need 2 cable needles or DPNs GAUGE roughly 4 stitches per inch and 7 rows per inch
