Pattern Instructions

CO 36 STS

Row 2 = Front/Right Side

Rows 1-3: *P2, K2*

Rows 4-5: *K1, P1*

Rows 6-7: *P1, K1*

Repeat rows 4-7, 14 times, approximately 7 1/2” (19cm) from the beginning

Repeat row 1, 2 times. BO in pattern.

Sew up the seam:

I sewed up the first 4 1/2” and then the last 1” leaving a 2” gap for the thumb. 

Weave in the ends.

Block, if desired.

Knit the second the same as the first.

Notes:

If you’d like to increase or decrease the width, do so in increments of 2 stitches.

These fit nice and snug, which is how I want them.

You can increase or decrease the number of CO STS to achieve your desired fit.

FYI, My wrist circumference is 6”.
