Crochet Pattern: Feather Cable Fingerless Gloves
By Candace – 5 CommentsThere’s been a lot of spinning talk around here lately, and since I’ve been getting more spinning done, it’s time I used more of my handspun up. This yarn called for texture, so I chose cables, and it is easy to adjust the sizing. Not a spinner? Don’t worry! While the pattern was written for my handspun, it will work for any comparable solid-colored or semisolid yarn–handspun or commercial. |

Very pretty, Candace!!
I tried 7 times but the feather cables are not symmetric.
I don’t know which is the stitch when perform FPTR.
Could you please help me figure stitch out?
Which cable are you having trouble with? They’re both worked over 4 stitches.
Hi Casdace,
I have trouble with right cable side, from row 11-12 (second motif)
It looks like some commas may have been misplaced with editing. I’ve updated the cable directions to better reflect the original. I hope that helps.
