Knitting Kit - Theresa Mittens by Lisa Hannes

A lovely combination of cables and textured ribbing creates a fascinating pattern on these beautiful fingerless gloves. The folded cuff makes them even cozier and more comfortable.

In the pattern photos, I am also wearing the matching Theresa Wrap.

The cable pattern may look complex at first glance, but it was designed to use only two different cables, arranged in a very intuitive way. It is therefore much easier to knit than it looks.

The fingerless gloves are knitted from the bottom up, from the cuff to the fingertips, and entirely in the round. The pattern includes both row-by-row written instructions and charts, so you can choose the method you prefer.

I hope you have a lot of fun knitting this pattern!

Size

Fits a hand circumference of 18 to 20 cm (7 to 7¾ in), with about 0 to 2 cm (0 to ¾ in) of negative ease.

Thanks to the ribbed pattern, the fingerless gloves are quite stretchy.

The fingerless gloves shown in the photos are worn on a hand with a circumference of 18 cm (7 in).

Yarn

The pattern is designed for a sport to light DK weight yarn.

Yarn used for the pattern:
Cardiff Cashmere Classic
100% cashmere
25 g = 112 m / 120 yards

Quantity: 2 skeins, or 50 g = 224 m / 240 yards
Color: 709 Life

Note: The 2 skeins were used entirely to make the fingerless gloves shown, with no yarn left over. So make sure you have enough yarn.

Gauge and needles

Gauge:
32 sts x 49 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in) in the cable and rib pattern with 3.5 mm (US 4) needles, after washing and blocking lightly.

Needles:
3 mm (US 2.5) and 3.5 mm (US 4) needles for knitting in the round, or the size needed to obtain the gauge.

The pattern shown was made using the magic loop technique, on a 100 cm (40 in) cable.
