Rhythmic Pulse Gloves- Testing Registration

call-for-tester_formHeader.jpg

Thank you for your interest in testing these gloves!

Testing  dates: April 12th - April 30th
* One glove is needed for the test.

All knitters, at all skill levels, are welcome!
The pattern includes all the tutorials you need for success. So don't shy away if there's anything new to you - you'll be fine! 

The Rhythmic Pulse is a cuff-up glove with a small cable detail on the back of the hand - you can work it using one color, or add a pop of contrast color to that detail to spice your glove up (video tutorials are included)!

After completing the thumb gusset and separating the thumb from the hand, you can choose from three glove styles: A fingerless glove with a rib edging, a half-finger glove with a rib edging, or a full-finger glove. 

Construction

Bottom-up: Starts with the cuff, you'll work up and increase to shape the thumb gusset, then separate the thumb from the hand and work them separately. Lastly, you end the hand with a rib, or divide into fingers, each of which is worked separately.​

Skills Required

  • German Twisted cast-on - video is included in the pattern.
  • ​Cables - videos are included in the pattern.
  • Sewn Bind-off for 2X2 rib - video is included in the pattern.
  • Increases/Decreases.
  • Working fingers (if you choose that style) using small DPNs.
  • Grafting the tip of the fingers (if you choose that style) - video is included in that pattern.
