Sirdar Country Style DK Pattern 9436 – Adult Gloves in Four Designs

Pattern 9436 from Sirdar is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern offering four distinct adult glove designs worked in Sirdar Country Style DK yarn. Whether you are looking for classic fitted gloves, practical fingerless mitts, or something with a decorative button cuff, this single pattern delivers a versatile collection suited to both ladies and men. All four designs are knitted flat on a standard pair of knitting needles, making them accessible to knitters with a solid foundation of basic skills.

The Four Glove Designs at a Glance

1. Stocking Stitch Gloves

The Stocking Stitch Gloves are the most traditional design in the collection, offering full finger coverage in a smooth, classic fabric. They are available in two sizes — a ladies' size measuring 19 cm (7½ in) around the hand and a men's size measuring 21 cm (8¼ in) around the hand — making them one of the more versatile designs in the set.

• Technique: Full glove construction with individual finger and thumb gussets
• Stitch: Stocking stitch (knit on the right side, purl on the wrong side), producing a smooth, flat fabric ideal for showcasing the yarn's colour
• Yarn shade: Shown in Sirdar Country Style DK shade 477
• Materials: 2 x 50g balls for both sizes

Stocking stitch is one of the most fundamental knitting stitches and creates a neat, stretchy fabric that sits comfortably against the hand. The smooth surface also makes this design an excellent canvas for any of the alternative yarn suggestions included in the pattern.

2. Fingerless Gloves

The Fingerless Gloves offer a practical, contemporary alternative to the full glove, leaving the fingers free for dexterity while still keeping the hand and wrist warm. Like the Stocking Stitch Gloves, these are available in both a ladies' size (19 cm / 7½ in) and a men's size (21 cm / 8¼ in).

• Technique: Fingerless glove construction with a thumb gusset; fingers are left open at the top
• Stitch: Primarily stocking stitch for the hand and body of the glove
• Yarn shade: Shown in Sirdar Country Style DK shade 476
• Materials: 2 x 50g balls for both sizes

Fingerless gloves are a perennially popular knitting project because they are quicker to complete than full gloves and highly wearable for everyday use, particularly for those who use touchscreens or need grip while working outdoors.

3. Gloves with Button Cuffs in Double Moss Stitch

The Gloves with Button Cuffs in Double Moss Stitch are the most decorative design in the collection, featuring a textured cuff finished with a charming button detail. This design is offered in the ladies' size only, measuring 19 cm (7½ in) around the hand.

• Technique: Full glove construction with a shaped, buttoned cuff; button band worked as part of the cuff design
• Stitch: Double moss stitch (also known as seed stitch in some traditions) for the cuff, creating a deeply textured, reversible fabric by alternating knit and purl stitches in a specific repeat; stocking stitch for the hand
• Yarn shade: Shown in Sirdar Country Style DK shade 470
• Materials: 2 x 50g balls and 2 buttons

Double moss stitch is a classic textured stitch that creates a firm, non-curling fabric — ideal for a cuff that needs to hold its shape and lie flat. The addition of buttons elevates these gloves from a purely functional accessory into something with real style appeal, making them a lovely handmade gift
