Knitting Spring Wristers
Lion Brand® LB 1878
GAUGE: Lacy 26 sts = 4 in. (10 cm)
Rib 18 sts = 4 in. (10 cm)
Plain Jane 28 sts = 4 in. (10 cm)
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: PATTERN STITCHES

| Knitting Spring Wristers Reviewed by Elizabeth Wiznerowicz on 2008-12-14 |
 |
I have had so much fun making these wristers. I wanted to share my size calculations with everyone. For extra-small child glove, (2 year old) cast on 26 stitches instead of 36, work 8 rows for cuff, and gusset until there are 11 st between markers. Then 8 rows to finish glove and 2 rows for thumb.
For small child (5 year old) cast on 30 st, work for 10 rows for cuff, and gusset until there are 13 st btw markers. Then 8 rows to finish glove and 2 rows for thumb. I used rib for all gloves and size three dp needles.
Hope someone else has as much fun as I did!
