A fun pair of either gloves or fingerless mitts with a Fair Isle design. The pattern is for an average-sized lady’s hand, and with the gloves you can adjust the length of the fingers so that they fit you exactly.

You can buy yarn specifically for this pattern, but it’s also a great stash buster! That’s especially true with the less-used colours. The yarn I opted for is Cascade 220 fingering, which works well with Fair Isle knitting and comes in a great range of colors. I used two very different colourways for the gloves and mitts, to show you how different they can look depending on your colour choices. I encourage you to have fun with this!
