Io
Io is a happy glove that can be knit with colours in reverse for each hand – or not. Just as you please.
Io is also available as a fingerless mitt/fliptop mitten version for those without patience for knitting fingers. But then you won’t get the funky spiral that snakes around the index finger. Up to you!
The main pattern is a jacquard stitch, which creates a nice texture – and makes the glove a bit warmer.
There’s a little simple fair isle on the cuff, but nothing too complicated.
The spiralling cable on the index finger is not tricky either. It moves a stitch or two on each round.
You’ll need 250 to 300 yards.

hi there! Where might I be able to purchase the pattern for these gloves? I checked ravelry and here. No pattern for purchase
Hello Cheri! I’m glad you like Io!

Knit with abandon!
I am trying to down load this pattern which I bought online this am.
Hello and thank you for buying my pattern! You should have received a download link from Ravelry. If you haven’t, the most common reason is having used a different email for PayPal than your usual. If that’s not the reason, perhaps take a look at this Ravelry help page for pattern purchases. Hope that helps! /åsa
