How to Knit Fingerless Gloves
is a video I found with a super easy "recipe" for fast fingerless gloves. I know you thought I'd never make any more after last year when I made like 10 pairs of Fetching. I have made alot of these easy pairs in the past few days. Easy because no cabling is required. And they don't have thumbs. But you could add them.Use bulky worsted weight yarn. Size 9 needles. Or 10. Cast on 24. K2 P2 in rib for 15 rows for cuff, then knit in stockinette for 12 rows (or more for longer gloves), K2 P2 rib for 4 more rows and cast off in rib. Sew the side seams leaving room for your thumb. Voila! A bit of leftover stash used up.
Two -toned gloves using a smaller gauge yarn, casting on 34 instead, and using a lighter grey on the trim.
And a few gifts are made!

These are great aren't they. I have just seen a link on Ravelry for a similar type of thing but they are called sleeves. I suppose they are a bit like legwarmers for the arms. The same sort of basic pattern. I am sure whoever receives them will love them.
Thanks, yes a bit like legwarmers for the arms! That's a good way to put it!
