I never really appreciated bobbles, but they’ve grown on me.

Handknit gloves are like handknit socks - only better because everybody notices them! Made in sock yarn containing 20% nylon, they will last a long time.

The pattern instructions are for small knit bobbles, but on my second pair, I purled where the bobbles would be and crocheted them on afterward. Both worked well!

Sizes: S (M, L) to fit hands 6½ (7, 7½) inches, 16.5 18, 19 cm around palm, same from top of wrist to tip of middle finger. Negative ease up to ½ inch or 1 cm is okay.

Adjustments are easy if you are knitting for yourself (or a nearby friend) and can try on as you go.
