Knitty Batty

Started to show friends a new pair of shoes, but expanded to include updates on my knitting and important events, as well as ramblings on life, the universe, and everything. (If you can't see a picture, click on it to make it bigger!)

Gloves Step 8-10: Ring, Middle & Pointer Fingers

8- RING FINGER

K9, place next 34 on waste yarn (or a circular needle), CO 3 to bridge the gap, K9 (21 st).

Knit ~20-30 rows until half-way up your fingernail. Finish with 3-row taper.




9 - MIDDLE FINGER

K 8, keep next 18 on waste yarn, CO 3 st to bridge gap, K 8, pick up 3 along base of ring finger (22 st).

Tip when picking up from base of next finger: If it says "pick up 3," I pick up four or five, then on the next round, k2tog until I've only added the needed three. That way, there are more stitches joining the fingers together, which will give you less holes between them.

Knit ~20-30 rows until half-way up your fingernail. Finish with 3-row taper.




10 - POINTER FINGER

Place remaining st on needles, join yarn and pick up 3 along edge of middle finger (21 st).

Knit ~20-30 rows until half-way up your fingernail. Finish with 3-row taper.
