I was disappointed in them though - the cables barely covered my wrists and the tops were very gape-y round the fingers. Now, seeing as these are the most popular pattern on Ravelry I've no doubt this is more to do with my technique than any deficiency in the pattern. Anyhoo, I decided to make another pair. I remembered the Knitty Gritty show on the Fibonacci number sequence: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and decided to make stripey gloves based on this. This required an additional 8 rows onto the Fetching pattern, so I added one cable repeat, and two more rows between the end of the cable and the start of the thumb:
They're tied here with a wee ribbon as they went straight to my SIL, but I think they turned out well. Also - they covered my wrists and so should be much warmer. Still pretty gapey round the top though - any suggestions how to avoid this? Smaller needles for cast-off maybe?
