Materials Needed

• Needles: US 6 (4mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Stitch markers (optional, for marking the beginning of the round)
• Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches using your US 6 (4mm) knitting needles. Make sure to use a stretchy cast-on method for a comfortable fit.
2. Join in the Round: Carefully join your stitches in the round, ensuring that you do not twist them. Place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round if desired.
3. Work the Cuff:
   • Work in 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1) for 10 rounds. This will create a snug cuff for your gloves.
4. Begin Vine Pattern:
   • Round 1: *K2, P2, K4, P2, K2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 2: *K2, P2, C2F (cable 2 front), P2, K2; repeat from * to end.

   Continue this pattern for a total of 20 rounds.

5. Create Thumb Opening:
   • Knit 20 stitches.
   • Bind off 8 stitches (this creates the thumb opening).
   • Knit to the end of the round.
6. Rejoin for Thumb:
   • On the next round, knit 20 stitches.
   • Cast on 8 stitches (this will allow for the thumb to be knitted later).
   • Knit to the end of the round.
7. Continue in Pattern: Continue working in the established vine pattern for an additional 10 rounds.
8. Finish with Ribbing:
   • Work in 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1) for 5 rounds.
9. Bind Off: Bind off your stitches loosely to ensure the edge is stretchy.
10. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
