Grateful Cable Gloves

$1.00 from each sale of this pattern will be donated to the Red Cross.

In June 2021, fully vaccinated against COVID, I embarked on a trip to Iceland. Less than a week later, I found myself isolated for over a week with COVID in a hotel room in Reykjavik, in the care of the Icelandic Red Cross. I had some yarn left over from knitting Renee Leverington’s delightful Brigid Socks earlier in the trip, so while in isolation I decided to create a pair of gloves to match.

The entire glove is knitted in the round. I’ve included plenty of options along the way including:

Choose your cuff length Create more or less ease / tapering in palm and fingers Peekaboo finger ends as pictured (for cellphone use) or closed fingers Continue the ribbing up the fingers or work fingers in a stockinette Fingerless mitts

I’ve also linked to video tutorials wherever it might be helpful.

While I have provided instructions for two sizes, you may also choose to make these smaller or larger by adjusting gauge.
