Berroco Hallie Gloves Knitting Pattern

Berroco Hallie Knit Gloves

What is Being Made

Berroco Hallie is a pair of intermediate-level knit gloves designed by Alison Green. These are seamless, fitted gloves with a finished measurement of approximately 7 inches around the hand and 10 inches in length, with adjustable length options. The gloves feature a structured cuff, decorative cable pattern detail on the hand, and an integrated thumb gusset for proper fit and mobility.

Techniques Used

This pattern employs several key knitting techniques to create a professional, well-fitting garment:

• Worked in the Round: The gloves are constructed seamlessly using the circular knitting method, eliminating the need for seaming and creating a smooth, continuous fabric.
• Bottom-Up Construction: The gloves are knit from the cuff upward toward the fingers, allowing for easy length adjustments before completing the fingertips.
• Cable Work: A charted cable pattern is incorporated into the hand section, adding visual interest and texture to the design.
• Thumb Gusset Shaping: Strategic increases create an expandable thumb gusset that accommodates the thumb while maintaining the glove's overall fit.

Stitches Used

The Berroco Hallie gloves utilize fundamental and intermediate knitting stitches:

• Stockinette Stitch (St st): The primary fabric stitch used for the main hand and cuff sections, creating a smooth, classic knit surface.
• Ribbing: The cuff is worked in a twisted knit-purl rib pattern (K1tbl, p1), which provides elasticity and helps the gloves stay securely on the wrist.
• Cable Stitches: Charted cable patterns are worked into the hand section using a cable needle to create twisted, dimensional stitch patterns.
• Increases: Make One Left (M1L) and Make One Right (M1R) increases are used throughout the thumb gusset to shape the glove smoothly without creating visible holes.

Materials

The Berroco Hallie pattern calls for specific materials to achieve the intended gauge and finished appearance:

• Yarn: Berroco Quechua, a 50-gram hank weight yarn, in the color #1342 Copenhagen. Two hanks are required to complete the pair of gloves.
• Needles: One set of four double-pointed needles (dpns) in size 2 (2.75 mm), or the size needed to achieve the specified gauge of 28 stitches and 42 rounds per 4 inches in stockinette stitch.
• Notions: Five stitch markers (with one in a contrasting color to mark the beginning of round), one cable needle for working cable stitches, waste yarn for holding stitches temporarily, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
