Fans of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series and movie, New Moon, will recognize these fingerless
gloves as very similar to those worn by the fashionable Alice. (Note the color name for this yarn!)
These fingerless gloves are sure to be a favorite, whether or not you are a fan. Easy to knit,
comfortable to wear, they make perfect gifts.

Glove
Cast on 30 stitches and join in the round, being careful not to twist stitches. Place marker.
*Knit 3, purl 3; repeat from * to marker. Repeat this round 9 more times.
Change to stockinette stitch and knit 22 rounds.
Thumb opening
At the beginning of the next round M1 (Make 1 – insert left needle tip under bar connecting
stitches; knit in the back of this bar.), then continue in stockinette stitch to marker. Turn. Purl
back to marker. Turn. Continue knitting flat until 10 rows have been completed and ready to
work a knit side.
Top
Knit 1 row, placing a k2tog at the end of the row and join in the round again. Knit one more
round.
Finish the glove with 10 rounds of knit 3, purl 3 rib again. Bind off loosely, and weave in ends.
