You will need:
- 90 yards of worsted weight yarn or 105 yards of light weight/DK weight yarn (Sample uses Bernat Softee Baby in "Mint")
- a loom with a gauge of 3/8" and 36 pegs in the round
- Examples include: All-N-One loom, Martha Stewart loom, or the Knitting Board Sock Loom 2
- your favorite loom hook
- row counter (or scrap paper to keep track)
- a tapestry or yarn needle to do the super stretchy bind off
- a crochet hook to cast on and weave in ends
Notes:
Knit stitches in this pattern are u-knit stitches.
I would say that these gloves are about a medium/average size.
For a smaller size, I recommend using 32 pegs.
If you're not sure about size, you can use scrap yarn to make a sample glove first.

Let's get started!
Step 1: Chain cast on 36 pegs in the round (as shown in this video).
Step 2: Knit 2 pegs, purl 2 pegs all around the loom.
Step 3: Repeat previous step five more times (totaling six rows).
Step 4: Knit one row.
Step 5: Repeat previous step five more times (totaling six rows).
Step 6: On to the thumb hole...we'll do this first row in the opposite direction. Skip peg 36, and knit pegs 35 thru 1.
Step 7: Skip peg 1, and knit pegs 2 thru 36.
You will be knitting back and forth without connecting your glove six more times, for a total of eight rows.
Step 8: Knit all pegs around the loom for a total of 36 rows.
Step 9: Knit 2 pegs, purl 2 pegs all around the loom.
Step 10: Repeat previous step five more times (totaling six rows).
Step 11: Bind off using this super stretchy bind off.
- Since this item is done in the round, you will follow the bind off above but continue in the round. When you reach the end/beginning of your loom, after you bring the yarn up thru peg one and down on the last peg, bring the yarn up thru peg one again. Then you will remove your mitt from the loom.
Step 12: Weave in the yarn tails from your cast on and bind off.
Repeat all to create the second glove.
Each finished glove measures approximately 7 inches long.
As always, feel free to experiment with your own project. You are more than welcome to leave a comment with a photo of your finished fingerless gloves.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you have.
Thanks for reading, and have a splendid day!
