Palm Readers




 This is my first venture into Fair Isle/Norwegian knitting. I drew up this pattern and made a chart with Tricksy Knitter's chart maker. Have fun!

 Materials: A set of four #8 Dpns, scissors, worsted wight yarn in two colors. (I used Plymouth Yarn's Galway. The red was color 16, I can't remember the other.)

  Pattern: CO 12 stitches on each needle,(36), Knit 1 round in C1 (brown). Work 8 rounds of corrugated ribbing, the knits being in C1, and the purls in C2.
 
   Now, work one repeat of the chart, one chart fits one needle. After the chart, Knit all stitches on the first needle with C1. The next needle makes the thumb hole.

  For this, knit 3, BO 6, K3. Knit the rest of the round.
Knit until the bind-offs, CO 6 over the hole, K3 and knit the rest of the round.
  Knit one more round even, then work six round in corrugated ribbing.
