Fingerless gloves in super bulky yarn, with cable feature. Worked in the round. You can make a fitted glove, or a loose extra glove to wear over your normal glove in very cold weather (over-glove).

Size
Size A (with fewer stitches per row) is for the thicker type of super bulky yarn such as Sirdar Big Softie super chunky, and makes a loose over-glove for women, or a more snugly-fitting glove for men. Size B is for the thinner type of super bulky yarn such as Lion Brand Heartland Thick & Quick, and fits the average woman’s hand. Size B can also be used with the thicker bulky yarn to make a man’s over-glove. Length of both sizes can be adjusted as required.
