Inspired by the foliage of the Albizia tree, these fingerless gloves create a smooth, gently laced pattern on the top and plain stockinette on the underside.

Features an easy openwork pattern with two size options for little hands. Suitable for advanced beginner knitters and above. This is the children’s version of our teen/adult Albizia pattern.

This pattern is packed with features that you’ll love. We’ve included our clever formatting that allows you to turn sizes on and off, so you can hide the sizes you don’t need or bring them back again anytime.

We’ve also included links to video tutorials, detailed schematics for visual learners and a full chart of the entire glove for chart lovers, along with the usual written instructions of course.

We’re on a mission to simplify knitting patterns, but that doesn’t mean less information. It just means finding better ways to communicate. So while we’ve still included the instructions that you’re used to, we’re also big fans of the visual aids that you often see in Japanese or Korean patterns. Big thanks to Knit-to-wear.com for the schematic/charting guidance.
