Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn, 100g skein (recommended color: deep forest green)
• Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Start by casting on 40 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure the stitches are not twisted when you join in the round.
2. Ribbing: Work in a k2, p2 ribbing pattern for 10 rounds. This will create a snug cuff for your gloves.
3. Begin Leaf Motif Pattern:
   • Round 1: *k4, p2; repeat from * around.
   • Round 2: *k3, yo, ssk, p2, k4; repeat from * around.
   • Round 3: *k2, yo, ssk, k1, p2, k4; repeat from * around.
   • Round 4: *k1, yo, ssk, k2, p2, k4; repeat from * around.
   • Round 5: *yo, ssk, k3, p2, k4; repeat from * around.
   • Round 6: *k4, p2; repeat from * around.
4. Repeat the Leaf Motif: Continue repeating rounds 1-6 until the glove measures 6 inches from the cast-on edge.
5. Thumb Opening: To create the thumb opening, bind off 6 stitches at the beginning of the next round. This will leave a gap for your thumb.
6. Continue Knitting: After binding off the stitches, continue in the established leaf motif pattern for an additional 2 inches.
7. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge is not too tight.
8. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. For a polished finish, block your gloves lightly to shape them.

Now you have your very own Mystical Woodland Fingerless Gloves! Enjoy the cozy warmth and the beautiful leaf motifs as you wear them on your next adventure.
