| I have searched the web for a pattern for knitted 2-needle fingerless gloves but haven't found any. I don't like using 4 needles. I want something plain, not fancy, to wear in the house because my hands get so cold, especially when knitting or computing. Garter stitch would be good but stockinette is fine too.
Can anyone help? Pat |

| I think I have just the pattern for you. I've made several pair of these for my mother and aunts. Old hands are cold hands. |
Here is a link that might be useful: 2-Needle Fingerless Gloves

| Ooooh, thanks for posting that Donna. But young hands are cold hands, too! If 39 is still considered young :( |

| There's an even easier way to knit indoor mitts. I make a garter stitch square (or rectangle) that will wrap fairly closely around my hand and wrist, then stitch the seam, leaving a hole for the thumb. Make sure the rows run up and down, not around, so that the garter stitch acts like ribbing. They are soooo easy and really comfortable. I've made a couple of pairs of these with Lamb's Pride worsted on size 7 needles. I have fairly small hands, so I cast on 36 and knit them to about 7-8" long. If you want them longer, cast on more stitches. Annie |

| Like you, I dislike using dp needles. Too slow and awkward for me. I found a pattern for fingerless gloves using dp needles and I adapted it to two needles. It's very easy and fast. Only a couple of hours to make a pair. I hope it works for you. I have a picture, but I don't know how to post it. Here's the pattern anyway. FINGERLESS GLOVES KNITTED ON TWO NEEDLES 1. Cast on 30 stitches. If you'd like the picture, please email me and I'll send you a pic by return email.
