Choosing yarn and needles

Before you knit gloves with needles, you need to decide on the materials for their manufacture.

Yarn can be absolutely any, the main thing - the uniformity of its thickness, but to the choice of threads need to approach with great care.

Among the common options for yarns for knitting this thing, note:

Sheep's wool - the warmest thread option, but it is slightly prickly;
Merino sheep's wool - considered the softest, it is better to give preference to Australian manufacturers;
angora, cashmere and mohair - suitable for creating light things, but they are not very durable and quite quickly roll up;
Icelandic wool - the most durable material, which retains its shape for a long time and does not get wet;
alpaca is a fat-free material that does not get dirty for a long time, hypoallergenic;
50% wool and 50% acrylic - the easiest option in the care of threads, washing the thing is possible in the machine, and drying on the radiator.

The firms that are best suited to purchase the threads presented above are as follows:

YarnArt - dense and smooth threads in bright colors. Good for creating embossed patterns.
Alize - produced in Turkey. It is voluminous and bright. You can safely wash in the machine, because the thing made of this material will retain its shape and color.
"Pekhorka". Suitable options will be yarns with 50 or 100% wool. The threads hold their shape well and do not shed.
"Semyonovskaya yarn." There are threads of absolutely any composition. Characterized by a long retention of color and shape.
"Kamtex". One of the most durable yarns, do not shed and hold their shape.

Regarding the tool, the best option would be a variant of thickness of 0,5-1 mm.

How to determine your glove size

To determine your size, you need to stock up on a measuring tape, and then perform the following manipulations:

At the base of the thumb is required to measure the girth of the palm;
The number received in centimeters is translated into inches and then divided by 2.54;
The number is rounded to 0.5 or a whole number, following the rules of rounding.

The number obtained is the required size.

Peculiarities of the right glove

When knitting the right hand, the following manipulations must be performed:

The work begins with the set of loops, their number must be a multiple of the number "4". The loops are distributed into 4 parts.
The circular knitting is performed. Since each model has a rubber band with its own characteristics, then you need to follow the description of the pre-selected model.
The knitting is done in the pre-selected pattern or with a face smooth. While working, it is necessary to check yourself, the fabric on the first and second spokes corresponds to the width of the palm, and on the 3rd-4th - to the outside of the palm.
To make a wedge under the thumb, it is recommended to take a yarn of a different color and use it to mark the 4th and 7th P.
Making the third circle after the first marked, and before the second loops of the cross yarn, knit 1 LP crossed type.
Additions are made every 3 rounds, and then the same number of rounds are knit without additions.
Once the thumb hole is finished, you should continue to knit in circles until the piece is the right size.

Features of the left glove

When knitting the left hand, the steps are carried out completely corresponding to the knitting of the right hand. It is necessary to take into account that the density of knitting corresponds, because otherwise you can get two different sized products.

Knitting out the fingers

With the peculiarities of knitting the thumb is already clear, the other 4 knit according to this plan:

To get the little finger on a separate needle take off the last stitches of the palm and the first back side (to get the exact number you need to look at the description of the chosen model). Between them is knit bridge of two loops. The total number of loops is distributed over the 3 remaining tools and knit in a circle to obtain the required height. The remaining P's are knit 10 mm in height and two more are taken from the jumper located at the little finger.
To knit the ring finger, take the last loops of the palm and lintel, as well as the first outer side and 3 P typed for the second lintel. They are distributed into 3 parts and knit to the desired length.
To knit the middle finger, take 3 P's from the jumper and from the ring finger, and form a new jumper consisting of 3 stitches.
The index finger is formed by knitting on the remaining loops of the palm and outer part, and using 3 P of the jumper.

Patterns for knitting gloves

To knit the described product, there are several variants of patterns:

Relief. The peculiarity lies in the alternation of the back and front loops. They are considered the easiest, and even novice needleworkers can cope with them.
Openwork. They are considered the most original. Can be vertical and horizontal orientation. May consist of an alternation of large and small motifs.
Lazy patterns. After every two knitted rows, the color of the thread changes. The original pattern is formed from the slightly stretched from the previous rows of loops.

Gloves on 2 spokes

This is quite an original model, as it has no seam, and the knitting is done on just two spokes in twisted rows. To create such products it is necessary to prepare a tool with a diameter of about 2 mm and a skein of natural woolen thread.

Next, the following manipulations are carried out:

dial 29 loops and begin knitting the right hand;
The first row is knit with the back of the stitches (UI);
Shawl knit - alternate right-handed loops (RL) and left-handed loops, the length should be 1.5-2 cm (for the bend);
finish the last row of hems, doing 2V, H, alternating 2 sts;
the product is turned over and the first row is tied with IP, an opening is formed, thanks to which in the future will be obtained a beautiful edge;
until the transition to the thumb should be knit with a straight stitch;
Then additions are made - 27 LPs, 1 cast-off (H), 1 LP, 1 UI;
Additions are made in each face-to-face row, thus creating a thumb wedge;
All steps are repeated until the formation of the following number of loops - 29 for the palm, 10 for the finger and 1 edge;
No additions are made before the little finger, and then divide the loops for the fingers, starting from the little finger to the index finger (7 to 9P), one free between them is made, a total of 32 pieces;
they are knitted in rotary rows, at the very end, the loops are removed and immediately begin to knit the other side, starting with the little finger;
each last edge P is connected to the edge of the other side;
the same steps are taken with the other 4, for a total of 29 sts;
After knitting the thumb, the knitting is done in a mirror image;
after the reduction, the cuff is knitted;
loops are closed classically, cuffs are folded and fixed with a needle;
Knitting out the left hand is carried out in the mirror form.

Also, this kind of gloves can be knitted by crochet.

Creates an elastic band in a height of about 7 cm. Then immediately issued a wedge near the thumb and for him to make a hole. Such a manipulation is carried out by adding loops.
Reaching the height of the thumb all elements of the wedge, remove the 2 pins. Above them, loops are reached again, and the knitting continues.
Upon reaching the base of the little finger, the total number of P's is divided by the pins;
When you reach the desired length, you must be sure to do the looping and close the piece.

In a circular pattern, the LPs are knitted until the part of the product connected by this pattern is equal in height to the distance of the wrist to the thumb;
for the thumb on the pin take off 5 P, then 5 GP and knit section, which in height should be equal to the distance from the thumb to the end of the palm;
then proceed to the creation of multicolored parts, for this purpose the loops are divided into 4 parts;
The index finger is knitted, the unused loops are removed on a pin;
