Dallas recently broke his finger and it had to be pinned. Apparently having a metal rod shoved into your bone makes your finger get cold very easily. Especially during fall in Montana. Although he can wear mittens, that finger was still getting chilled. So I decided to design an individual finger sock knit pattern for a little extra warmth. I wasn’t sure if he would wear it, or if it would work, but the answer to both questions was affirmative. Over the next two nights, I made two more.
It wasn’t a pattern I was originally going to share since it seemed so simplistic and specialized. But a friend at work pointed out that other people obviously experience the same problem with broken fingers. So here is my quick and easy finger sock knit pattern. If you need to size down or up, I would simply subtract or add stitches in multiples of three to keep the K2, P1 repeats.

Materials
Fingering Weight Yarn – Approximately 10 yds (9 m). Blue/Grey sample made with Patons Kroy Socks yarn in Sing’n the Blues Stripes. Green variegated made with Araucania Huasco in Herbal (Color 023).
US Size 2.5 (3.0 mm) Double-Pointed Needles (or size needed to obtain gauge).
Size
One size fits most. Due to the stretchy nature of ribbing, this was small enough to snugly stay on a finger with a ring size of 5, and also fit over all the gauge, wrap, and padding to equal a finger with a comparable ring size of 14.
The length is customizable based on the finger you need to fit, as well as how much of the finger you want to cover. Make sure to factor in the loss of length as the sock stretches when worn, especially on wider fingers.
Gauge (not super crucial since there is a lot of stretch.
28 sts x 38 rows on a 4″ x 4″ swatch in stockinette st.
