Knitters’ Row

I have this pattern on file, but I am not posting it yet because it still needs some tweaking.  I have since traded these for some lovely sock yarn, but did like them while I had them.  They are made from 200 yds of DK weight yarn (Berroco Comfort DK), and knit up in the round pretty fast.  The fingers are pretty much a pain, but go a bit easier if you get the really short double points to knit with or use a short circ and do the Magic Loop.

I also completed four pairs of these not in the photo.  All without fingers.  One in blue with ribbing from top to bottom, one in multi-colors also with ribbing from top to bottom, and the last with a cable up the back and no added stitches for the thumb with ribbing at the top and the bottom done in gray.  The last in a worsted weight for a man’s hands with a red stripe in the center with all separate fingers.

I knit this last May for my Grandma who turned 90.  I used vintage Red Heart yarn in a cream color.  I didn’t have time to take a pic before I sent it off.  Here is a pic of the pattern that I used.  I made it 300 sts long, used a size 7 needle with DK weight yarn, and did three repeats of the pattern.
