Making the gloves in cotton may provide more support for the wrist. I find that it’s very comfortable wearing something like this while crocheting or working on the computer.

Update: I am making a single-lace-up version of this, hopefully using ribbon rather than elastic. I would also like the gloves to be longer.

July 16, 2010: Using 2 strands cotton 8, beige and light brown. I’m shaping the wrist part also, and am thinking of open wrist, closed at the base of the hand and open thumb instead of loop for middle finger.

July 17, 2010: Decided to keep the “flirt” design but with single lace-up as planned. I think that a more stretchy yarn is best for this project.
