Super easy wrist warmers, fingerless gloves
An excellent project for beginners!

Materials: 75-100 grms yarn  and needles to match gauge


Gauge: Approx 5 sts = 1" in K2, P2 rib, slightly stretched

Directions: CO 38 sts.
Row 1: * K2, P2, repeat from * to end of row, ending with K2
Row 2: * P2, K2, repeat from * to end of row, ending with P2
Repeat these two rows until piece measures 7" or desired length.
Cast off loosely.(when casting off, knit the sts as presented, it makes
for a neater cast off)

Sew 1" down from top and 3" up from bottom, leaving the remaining 3"
open for thumb. Weave in ends.
(if you make these longer, sew down 1" from the top, leave a 3" space
open and sew down the rest)

Can't be easier!
When you get used to this pattern, you can change stitch
For example, knit 4" in rib and the rest in stocking stitch, add
cables..but that will be another pattern!!

What size needle do I use. This is a beginner pattern and I am a real beginner and have no clue how to do the gauge thing.
Thank you

I know the comments were old, but: Most yarn has a "recommended needle size" chart thingie on the paper that wraps around each skein. For knitting it usually shows a picture of two crossed knitting needles, and for crochet it has a picture of a crochet needle. Most yarn I've seen lists the mm and the US size needle they recommend on that particular yarn.

I'm a beginner too, and YouTube has been a HUGE help watching tutorials on how to do stitches, and casting on and off etc. I am trying a different type of cast on with these, that I found a video to, called a German twisted long tail cast on. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but it's supposedly stretchy. and for ribbed knits. (thanks to iknitwithcatfur for the slow clear tutorial on how to do that one! Hers was the only video I could wrap my brain around.)

2 needle fingerless gloves

This is an easy pattern that can be adapted according to your skill. I used worsted weight yarn and US 5 needles. You need just over 50gms of yarn. I also found that knitting them both at the same times ensures that they bout turn out the same ! Cast on 42 sts Knit 20 rows in k2 p2 rib on the 20th row place markers this way: k20 place marker, k2, place marker, k20 the 2 sts between the markers will form the increase for the thumb. Switch to stocking stitch (1 row K - right side- 1 row P - wrong side) Knit to marker, (20 sts) knit twice in the next stitch and in the one after that (the sts between the markers) K20 next row and all wrong side rows, Purl Knit 20 sts (you have reached the marker) knit twice in next stitch, K2 (till next marker) and K twice in the stitch before the marker K20 Continue this way, always increasing a stitch at each marker till you have 16sts between the markers. k 2 rows then with right side facing, k20, CO 16, k20 (shaping the thumb) nex

Hand Knitted Baby Cardigan Pattern

By Popular Demand! This is in one size only - takes for ever to figure out other sizes! For chest 10" - finished measurements about 14" Sleeve 3" You will need: 2 balls of a soft yarn that woks with 3.25mm (US 3 Needles) A button tension is 25sts and 50 rows for a 4x4 inch square If you are a beginner you may not understand this pattern - for more experienced knitters, I am sure you will see the 'pattern' of the decrease rows forming the raglan) I think this was originally a Debbie Bliss pattern i had written down somewhere so please forgive me if there are any mistakes - as i keep saying, I am hopeless at writing down patterns and i just had some notes on a scrap of paper! Back cast on 45 sts knit until back measures 3" ending with a wrong side row cast off 4 sts at beginning of next 2 rows leave remaining 37 sts on a spare needle sleeves (I  knit both at the same time) cast on 29 sts K 7 rows increase:* k3, m1, k to last 4 sts m1, k3

An easy shawl pattern

I wrote this as i knitted it so if you find any mistakes let me know! The cast on sts are the top of the shawl, the cast off will be the bottom. This is a very basic pattern that you can then embellish - i used an eyelet pattern on random rows.(k2tog YO) The first stitches should not be slipped (as i usually do when knitting) but knitted. You can use any yarn you like with its corresponding needles. there really is no gauge You can also knit it to any size. Just remember that the final amount of stitches you have will be its width and the number of rows you knit will be the length. You can check that on a swatch and calculate accordingly Cast on 7 stitches. Row 1 (RS): k2, yo, k1, yo,place marker k1 place marker, yo, k1, yo, k2. Row 2 (WS): K2 , P to last 2 sts knit last 2 sts (and on all WS) Row 3 (RS): k2, yo, k to marker, YO, k1,move marker YO, k to last 2 stitches, YO, k2. and so on So to give a quick recap. The 1st 2 sts of every row are always K followed by YO Be
