These basic fingerless gloves are easy to knit, starting with a rib cuff and simple thumb gusset, and finishing with a smaller rib at the top.

They are quick to knit up on small circulars or DPNs, and great for using up scraps and single skeins of 8ply/DK yarn.

They are designed to fit an average adult hand, but could be made a little smaller by going down a needle size.
Gauge is not critical, you just want a fairly firm fabric for a good fit.
