  1. You say 4mm needles but what size

    ReplyDelete

    1. I don't know if you are new to knitting but 4 mm is metric and its US equivalent is US 8
      Here is a chart of some:
      US 0 is same as 2 mm
      US 1 is same as 2.25 mm
      US 2 is same as 2.75 mm
      US 3 is same as 3.25 mm
      US 4 is same as 3.50 mm

      Delete
    2. 4 mm is metric - US equivalent is 8
      Go online and search for the knitting needle and yarn conversion tables.

      Delete
    3. My source says 4mm is US 6 and UK 8.

  3. Thank you for this pattern! I'm pretty new to knitting, and this has been fun so far. One question: What kind of seaming technique should I use with the slip stitched edges?

  8. Want to make these but what is kfb stand for

    ReplyDelete

    1. Knit a normal stitch then as your about to release it 'don't' and knit a stitch from the back of the same stitch.

      Delete
    2. Kfb means knit in the stitch then hold on needle then knit through the back = 1 increase

      Delete
  9. Thank you for showing them in different color yarn. It makes it easier to decide if it will work with the color we want.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Hi, I realize you posted your question 5 months ago, but I stumbled across this today and thought I would reply. In this pattern, kfb literally stands for knit front back. It's an increase stitch. I hope that helps. Happy knitting!

  11. Thank you so much for this pattern - I was directed to it by a Facebook group and honestly it was the answer I was looking for! I was asked for fingerless mitts in black (!!!) for my autistic nephew. These were perfect. Thanks so much from Australia.

  12. I'm pretty new to knitting. Are these needles double pointed? Circular? What works best?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I use just normal straight knitting needles. They are knitted flat. (You can use circular if you prefer) M

      Delete
  13. 2 questions: Does « S » stand for « slip »? A

    And since there are knit on straight needles, you sew the seams at the end? Are there are differences in the pattern for knitting it with double-pointed needles?

    Thanks so much! Can’t wait to make these

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hey! Thanks for this pattern:
    One question: what does the S at the start of each row mean??

    ReplyDelete
  15. How many needles are used in this pattern?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Could I do these in chunky ? If so what size should I do for a large child size

  21. Thank you very much for your time and help you've made me a huge favor 💕💕

    ReplyDelete
  22. Lovely pattern-would it be OK if I avoided the ribbing and did stocking stitch so it rolls at edges? Also, when it says 'turn work' do I join in new yarn or still use existing working yarn? haven't done this before. Many thanks in advance!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Just found this pattern. Cant wait to make some as my hands get cold where I work but I need my fingers free. Thank you for sharing. Happy Christmas
