Fingerless Gloves
Lion Brand® Sock-EaseTM
GAUGE: 32 sts + 44 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in rev St st worked in rnds (purl every rnd). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle.
Purl this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased.
