C.S. Lewis Fingerless Gloves

These gloves are perfect for grabbing a cup of java and holding a great book! My favorite author is C.S. Lewis...thus the name was created for these little gems! Here is the pattern:

#11 dpns

1 skein Aracania Coliumo Solid Color 5

Cast on 21 stitches. Then put 7 stitches on 3 dpns. Connect in the round.

Cuff Pattern: k2, p1 for 3 inches

Hand Pattern: stockinette stitch for 3 more inches (the gloves will measure 6 inches in length at this point) Next round k2, put the next 2 stitches on stitch holder, CO 2 stitches, knit the last stitch. (this is the thumb hole)

Continue in the stockinette stitch for 3 more inches until gloves measure 9 inches total.

Bind off loosely.

Thumb: Pick up 2-3 stitches around the thumb hole on each of the 2 dpns. Slide stitches from stitch holder to third dpn. Continue in stockinette for about an inch. Bind off.
