These beautiful gloves are short enough to not be in the way, yet warm enough to keep your hands nice and warm. Being fingerless, you are free to turn the pages of books, or use touch devices! The leaf pattern on the front of the gloves is created by a 3 repeat of a simple pattern created by systematic yo’s and ssk/k2tog’s. A list of abbreviations and simple instructions for the stitches used are included.
For the gloves in the picture I used exactly 1/2 a ball of Cleckheaton California 8ply, 4mm & 4.5mm double pointed needles. The pattern included instructions on how to divide the ball of wool into ¼ and how to get the exact same colour schematic on each glove.
