Finished measurements: 16 cm circumference, un-stretched across the palm and 20 cm long in 4ply yarn. You will need Debbie Bliss Rialto 4ply (100% merino 50g = 180m) 1 ball in Teal. Needles One set of 2.75mm double pointed needles One set of 3mm double pointed needles Or size to obtain tension Cable needle

Stitch markers Waste yarn Tension 21 sts and 41 rounds = 10 cm measured over cable rib using the larger needles. When tension is mentioned I begin to look a little shifty. With a small project like theses gloves rather than knitting a separate tension square I start knitting the glove and try it on after a few inches to see if it fits. The cables are very stretchy.

Using only one ball these fingerless gloves are knitted in Debbie Bliss Rialto 4ply. Cabled ribbing keep the gloves snug at the wrists with a central stag’s horn cable to admire along the back of the hand. The cables are quite stretchy so one size will fit most women.

Continue in pattern as established increasing 1 st just after the 1st marker and 1 st just before the 2nd marker on every 4th round (2/1PC round) until you have 17 sts between the markers. Next Row: Work in pattern to first marker, remove marker, transfer the next 17 sts to waste yarn, cast on 3 sts using the backward loop method, remove second marker, continue in pattern. Next Row: Work in pattern until you reach the 3 sts cast on in the previous round, k1tbl, p1tbl, k1tbl, continue in pattern. The 3 sts are now worked as cable rib for the following rounds. Work in pattern until you have completed 8 stag’s horn cable repeats in total.
