Insomnia Fingerless Gloves

When insomnia hits you might as well knit. 3 hours of tossing and turning finally made me realize I wasn't sleeping anytime soon so I got out my needles and a mystery ball of acryllic yarn and got to experimenting. 4 hours after that I ended up with a nifty set of cabled fingerless gloves.

Materials:

1 ball of worsted weight yarn (mine was a mystery ball that had lost its label)

US size 8 needles

Cable needle

Pattern:

CO 28

Knit 4 rows in garter

Row 1: p6, k6, p across

Row 2: k16, p6, k6

Row 3: p6, k6, p across

Row 4: k16, p6, k6

Row 5: p6, k6, p across

Row 6: k16, p6, k6

Row 7: p6, C6F, p across

Row 8: k16, p6, k6

*repeat pattern until there are 4 cables.

*work rows 1-5 of pattern to maintain symmetry

*knit 4 garter rows and then bind off

*weave in ends and sew the edges together leaving a hole for your thumb.

~ this pattern is sort of a one size fits all thing the picture is of me and my larger "chubby" arms but I had one of my slender friends try them on and they fit her perfectly as well.
