Kezia Fingerless Mitts byJessica Correa
One size fits most. The way the mitt is designed makes a very stretchy fabric that fits narrow to wide hands while still looking good.
Materials:
200yd fingering weight yarn (shown in Another Craft Girl Merino Sock in Saoirse) 2.25mm/US1 DPNs or long circular for magic loop 2 stitch markers cable needle (optional; I highly recommend learning to cable without one) Gauge: 16st x 26 rows 0ver 2"x2" in stockinette This pattern was named for Kezia Fitzgerald and is published in memory of her daughter Saoirse, who passed away from Neuromblastoma at only 18 months old in December 2011. Kezia herself is currently in remission from Hodgkin's Lymphoma. You can read Kezia's blog (http://newmomnewcancer.blogspot.com/) to find out more or donate directly. 100% of the proceeds from this pattern will go to the Fitzgerald Cancer Fund (https://www.facebook.com/fitzgeraldcancerfund), which helps Saoirse's parents continue to spread the word about Neuroblastoma. Another Crafty Girl is also donating \$5 from each yarn purchase from her shop in the Saoirse colorway. You can find the yarn at http://www.etsy.com/shop/anothercraftygirl. Cast on 65st using the slipknot cast on or a stretch cast on of your choice. PM and join in the round. Knit the cuff as noted below, working through the 6-rnd cuff pattern four times and then working to round 4 once. Cuff: \*p1, ktbl, p1, ktbl, p1, work Cable Pattern, p1, ktbl, p1, ktbl - repeat from \* 5 times
Rnd 1: ktbl, p2, ktbl Rnd 2: c2lp, c2rp Rnd 3: p1, ktbl twice, p1 Rnd 4: p1, c2f, p1 Rnd 5: p1, ktbl twice, p1 Rnd 6: c2rp, c2lp RIGHT HAND: After finishing the cuff, knit 29st for palm, work Chart 2 across next 34st for the back of the hand, PM, work thumb gusset over last 2st. On Rnd 45 of Chart 2, start working twisted knit rib across the palm (starting with p1) until Chart 2 is completed. Bind off in pattern. LEFT HAND: After finishing the cuff, p1, move marker to this point, work thumb gusset over next 2st, PM, work Chart 2 across next 34st for the back of the hand, knit last 29st for palm. On Rnd 45 of Chart 2, start working twisted knit rib across the palm (starting with p1) until Chart 2 is completed. Bind off in pattern.
Thumb Gusset:
Knit four rounds even, then repeat rounds 1 and 2 until there are 22st between the markers. Rnd 1: M1R, knit to marker, M1L Rnd 2: knit across After there are 22st, knit 2 rounds even. On the next round, k1, put 20st on a holder or scrap yarn, CO 4st using backwards loop method, then join in the round by knitting the last st. Knit across these six stitches even until Rnd 45 of Chart 2, then work in twisted knit rib until end of chart (for RIGHT HAND only, start twisted knit rib with p1). BOTH HANDS: Work thumb.
Thumb:
Pick up and knit 6 st from the gap where you cast on stitches earlier, then knit across the 20 stitches that were on a holder. Knit across the first three st that you picked up and PM (26 st).
