• Gauge: 20 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches. Distribute the stitches evenly across four double-pointed needles (10 stitches per needle).
2. Join to Work in the Round: Carefully join the stitches to work in the round, ensuring that you do not twist the stitches. This is crucial for a seamless glove.
3. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing (knit 1, purl 1) for 12 rounds. This will create a snug cuff for your gloves.
4. Begin the Fern Cable Pattern:
   • Round 1: *Knit 4, purl 2; repeat from * around.
   • Round 2: Repeat Round 1.
   • Round 3: *C4F (slip 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold in front, knit 2, then knit 2 from the cable needle), purl 2, C4B (slip 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold in back, knit 2, then knit 2 from the cable needle), purl 2; repeat from * around.
5. Repeat Rounds 1-3: Continue repeating Rounds 1-3 until the glove measures 6 inches from the cast-on edge.
6. Thumb Opening: On the next round, bind off 6 stitches for the thumb. Continue working in pattern to the end of the round.
7. Recast for Thumb: On the following round, cast on 6 stitches over the thumb gap and continue in pattern.
8. Continue in Pattern: Work in the fern cable pattern for an additional 2 inches.
9. Finish with Ribbing: Complete the glove with 1x1 ribbing for 6 rounds.
10. Bind Off: Bind off loosely to ensure the cuff is stretchy.
11. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends for a polished finish.
