The Gracie Cuffs are a quick, one skein project with a no-fuss thumb hole. With a beautiful scalloped lace trim and ribbing for fit, these fingerless gloves are as pretty as they are practical!

These are knit in the round and come in 5 sizes (Extra Small (measures 4 ¼”/10.8 cm long; wrist about 4 ½”/11.4 cm relaxed; up to 6 ½”/16.5 cm knuckles circumference; fits age 9 and up) Adult Small (measures 5”/12.7 cm long; wrist about 5”/12.7 cm relaxed; up to 7”/17.8 cm knuckles) Medium (measures about 5 ¼”/13.34 cm long; wrist about 5”/12.7 cm relaxed; up to 8 ½”/21.6 cm knuckles) Large (measures about 5 ¼”/13.34 cm long; wrist about 6”/15.25 cm relaxed; up to 9 ¼”/23.5 cm knuckles) Extra Large (measures about 5 ½”/14 cm long; wrist about 7”/17.8 cm relaxed; up to 10”/25.4 cm knuckles). The thumb hole is a section sewn closed, so no special shaping is required. You may also leave without thumb hole sewn and wear as cuffs. If you have been hesitant to make fingerless gloves, now is your chance to give them a try!

Please note: on some models, the gloves might look a bit looser; I have since updated to make them more fitted.
