Gauge doesn’t matter much, as the ribbing is quite stretchy. The only thing to keep in mind is that you don’t want it so loose that it looks sloppy.

My friend Thea loves bright colors but always dresses in black. Her hands also get ridiculously cold, so for her birthday I decided to knit her a pair of black fingerless gloves with thin stripes of bright colors. I couldn’t find a pattern I liked, so I decided to make one up.

She loves them and wears them all the time!
