Questions & Answers:

  • Why fingerless? They are wonderful for Driving, Walking, Knitting, typing, texting, or anything where you want to keep your hands warm, but need your fingers free!
  • What if I need a different size? This pattern fits a pretty good range(see sizing image), however for larger or smaller hands there are adjustment notes to change the sizes in the PDF Pattern.
  • Is this a good beginner pattern? YES! This pattern does have a few little tricky spots, but overall it’s very simple!
  • Would these make a good gift? These make excellent gifts! I have of course also kept a number of pairs for myself over the years. They wear and last extremely well because they are made with sock yarn, and I have received some very good feedback!
  • How long will they take to make? This will of course depend how fast you can knit… they take me about 8 to 10 hours(knitting time) to finish a pair, so if you work at it you can actually finish a pair in a day… however I don’t often have 8 hours to sit and knit without interruption, so for me I tend to comfortably make a pair every 4 to 10 days depending how much time I spend on them!
  • Can I make them on the go? YES! These are a perfect project to knit on the go, because due to the limited materials required, & small size of the needles they fit into most bags/purses, and it’s easy to keep track of your progress.
  • What if I don’t have 9” circulars? No problem this pattern can be worked with any circular knitting method, and it can even be knitted flat and then seamed. (see page 18 in the pattern for instructions) or if you would like to purchase some 9” circulars I’m offering 10% off on circular needles with the promo code: Knitting9Inch
  • Machine Washable? When making these out of Patons Kroy Sock Yarn they are fully machine washable, (although I recommend hanging to dry to extend the life further, but I have also put them through the dryer with no ill effects).


Happy Knitting!
