You'll need a total of 6 buttons, with a diameter ranging from 7/16 in to 1/2 in (11.12 mm - 12.7 mm) to complete your gloves.

Gather your supplies, which include US 4 (3.5 mm) double pointed needles; we recommend a set of 4 for optimal knitting. You may also use optional straight or circular needles in the same size for the flat cuff section. Don't forget to have a stitch marker and optional stitch counter on hand to keep your knitting organized.

For this project, the gauge is essential: using US4, aim for 20 stitches and 14 rows to achieve a 2 in (5 cm) square in the rib pattern. The recommended yarn is a Worsted Weight, with approximately 150 yards (145 meters) needed to complete the project.

These fingerless gloves are designed for adults, with approximate finished measurements of a glove length of 8.5 in (21.6 cm) and a bottom cuff flat width of 3 in (7.6 cm).
