Fingerless gloves are my favourite accessory by far and also my favourite knitting project. They are super versatile in terms of construction and usually a quick knit that can easily be carried around.
The ones here are knitted flat and in a knit/purl pattern which gives them their structured look. They start with a provisional CO, are knitted flat and end with grafting. Finally the side seams have to be sewn together.
Since this is a project with very short short rows and a few other techniques that can be fiddly at times. Therefore, it is NOT a beginner pattern.

The pattern PDF is 15 pages long and contains

  • a schematic how the mitts are constructed
  • written row-by-row instructions for knitting these fingerless gloves in one size only – including 8 photos of the different stages
  • a chart
  • short photo tutorials of the following techniques that are needed to knit these fingerless gloves: provisional cast-on and how to undo it, short rows with shadow wraps, crochet CO, grafting in stockinette

Because this stitch pattern scrunches up very much and the mitts are much wider (comfortably) when being worn, there are two photos showing the sizes

  • one with the pieces unstretched (second to last photo)
  • one with the pieces slightly stretched (last photo)

Both show two pairs of these fingerless glove – one knitted with 2.5mm needles (on top in beige yarn) and one knitted with 3mm needles (in red yarn).
The beige ones knitted in 2.5mm needles are

  • unstretched about 13 – 14 cm in circumference and about 14 cm high
  • stretched up to 16 cm in circumference and about 15 cm high

The red pair knitted in 3mm needles measure:

  • unstretched about 14 – 15 cm in circumference and about 15 cm high
  • stretched up 17 cm in circumference and about 16 cm high
