Fingerless gloves done!


On the yarn train to Portland this last Saturday I started my fingerless gloves.  My office in the house is freezing in the winter even with a space heater. Only one side of my body gets warm and my mouse hand aches.  SOOO, I decided to make these gloves. They are made from Cascade yarn Cloud 9, which is a angora/wool blend. The more I wear them the fuzzier they will get. I picked a pattern from a book and just added the rib, I stitched the sides together leaving a spot for my thumb. It was a 33 cast on since the pattern was an odd number and I just knitted the extra stitches and it came out perfect. The name of the pattern design is Fern Lace. Thanks for looking.
Pin It!

Thank you Carrie. I can do that, but this is knit not crochet. Do you have circular needles ( I find them easiest) size 8 is what I used for this, size 7 would work too.
