So I seem to be in a rut making wristers (the afghan I'm working on is too big to travel. These are small projects perfect for down time away from home).
Materials: worsted yarn in varying (or solid) color of your choice.
Needles: 4 mm (I knit loosely so I just smaller needles than yarns call for unless I want something super loose). These are knit flat.
CHECK YOUR PERSONAL GAGE AND RECIPIENT HAND SIZE. Adjust cast on as needed.
Leaving a long tail (for sewing up part of the side later), cast on 24
2x2 rib border:
row 1: *k2 p2*
row 2: *k2 p2* (knit the knit purl the purl)
repat rows 1 and 2 one more time.
main body: garter stitch
knit across all rows to desired length (these are 45 rows)
final row: *k1p1* across and cast off. Leave a long tail before cutting.
Using tapestry needle and your yarn tails, put right sides together and sew up the sides leaving room for the thumb. These are sewn about 2 1/2 inches from top. Between 2.5 and 3 inches for them and then 4 inches at the bottom. These are bigger than ones I make for myself—hopefully large and stretchy enough for a man’s hand.
