Perfect for keeping your hands nice and toasty during your
favorite outdoor fall fiber festival, these fingerless gloves
knit up quickly in a sophisticated motif of simple knits and
purls. Worked in the round from the bottom up, a gusset for
the thumb is formed as you go, leaving minimal finishing
to be done after casting off. Fully customizable for length,
this pattern includes instructions for mirror-image gloves,
adding to the thoughtful details of this easy pattern.
