Isabel fingerless gloves feature a delicate lace pattern that looks complicated, but is deceptively simple to execute. A shaped thumb gusset means that these gloves are made to fit the hand naturally and comfortably.

Isabel gloves are quick to knit and can be completed in an evening or two using less than a single 3.5 oz (100 gr) skein of worsted weight yarn. Our sample gloves used approximately 80 yds (73 m).

CONSTRUCTION

Gloves are knit in the round from the cuff up.

REQUIRED SKILLS

  • Knitting in the round
  • Increase and decrease stitches - M1L, M1R, yo, k2tog, ssk
  • Twisted stitches - ktbl

INSTRUCTIONS

The pattern consists of a chart for the lace portion of the gloves as well as complete written row by row instructions. Knowledge of charts is not needed to work this pattern.

YARN NOTES

A worsted weight yarn with good stitch definition and little to no halo is recommended. Tonals will work, but highly variegated yarn may distract from the lace pattern.

ADDITIONAL NOTIONS

You will also need:
Tapestry/blunt yarn needle
Stitch markers (2)
