FO Friday - Free Fingerless Glove Pattern

As promised on Wednesday I would like to share my Fingerless Glove Pattern with you all today as my FO for Friday :)

Here we go: 

Yarn: DK thickness, I used Freedom Spirit. 50g is ample.
Needles: 3.5mm (US 4mm) DPNs, 1 Cable needle similar size
Extras: 2-3 Stitch Markers, piece of spare thread or stitch needle.

Abbreviations:

pm – Place Marker

ssk – Slip, Slip, Knit

k2tog – knit 2 together

M1L – Lift strand between the last stitch knitted and the next stitch to knit. Place needle through stitch from front to back. Knit stitch from back.

M1R - Lift strand between the last stitch knitted and the next stitch to knit.

Place needle through stitch from back to front. Knit stitch from front.

(A tip about M1R and M1L, if the stitch you have picked up is too easy to knit, you may have knit it from the wrong side. This stitch, if knitted correctly is pretty tight)

Cast on 40 sts and distribute evenly over 3 needles. (12, 12, 16)
Rib for 10 rounds (K2, P2)

Pattern:

First Cable round: K20, P2, place 3st on cable needle, lie cable needle in front of work, K3, K3 off the cable needle, P2, K to end.
Next round: *K20, P2, K6, P2, K to end*. (Repeat ** 4 times)
Repeat First Cable Round and do so on every 5th round.
After 25 rounds start the thumb gusset at the same time as continuing the cable pattern.
