I'm putting this pattern here, because as of right now it lives on an increasingly crumpled little piece of notebook paper, and I don't want to lose it forever. I mean, it's really simple and I'm sure I could figure it out again, but I like having the numbers around so I can be lazy and not think about them :-P They were created for and named after the friend (a burlesque dancer) who commissioned them, and originally knitted in black Vanna's Glamour on size 1 needles. They fit the average woman's hand very nicely. The second pair was knitted in Loops & Threads Payette on the same needles. Third pair was done in Loops & Threads Elegance on same needles. (I'm so glad commercial yarn companies have stepped up their game, woot!) I am now working on a fourth pair in Payette on... you guessed it... same needles! (I am obsessed with Payette, it's the best sequin yarn ever!) The simplicity of the pattern means that embellishment options are pretty limitless too... buttons, beads, etc. So without further ado... le pattern :-)
Materials:
-A fingering weight yarn such as Vanna's Glamour, Loops & Threads Elegance, or Loops & Threads Payette. (Yes, I know these are listed differently on Ravelry, but they all work.)
-Five size 1 double pointed needles.
-Two stitch markers
-Embellishments of your choice
-Crochet hook or tapestry needle to weave in ends.
CO 48 sts, distribute them evenly across 4 needles (12 sts each) and join, being careful not to twist. (I like to leave a bit of a long tail that I can knit into the first few stitches and leave hanging out- makes it easy to keep track of rounds.)
Rows 1-12: K1, P1 around.
Rows 13-20: Knit plain.
Thumb gusset:
Row 21: Knit first needles. Knit 5 stitches on the second needle, place stitch marker. K1fb, k1fb, place second stitch marker. Knit remaining five stitches and rest of round plain. (50 sts)
Row 22: Knit plain.
Row 23: Knit to first marker, slip marker, k1fb, knit to last stitch before second marker, k1fb, slip marker, knit rest of round. (52 sts)
Alternate rows 22 and 23 until you have 30 sts on second needle, 66 sts altogether.
Knit plain for 10 rows.
On next row, knit to marker, remove marker, k1, put next 18 sts on scrap yarn, k1, remove marker, knit to end of round.
Knit plain for 9 rows.
K1, P1 for 7 rows, then bind off in pattern.
Thumb: Pick up 24 stitches, including 6 between 3rd and first needle, so that you have 6 sts on 4 needles. Knit 4 rounds. Finish off with 3 rounds of K1, P1, bind off in pattern. Weave in ends, embellish as desired, and you're done :-)
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. What is obvious to me, might not be so clear to you. Enjoy the pattern!
