These gloves came about as, and I quote: “the hand knit version of the nylon gloves you can find in a dollar store.”

I wanted a pair of gloves that were lightweight, but very snug to the hand, perfect for spring or early fall, or, to layer under other mittens or gloves during winter.

The Pine Cone Stitch pattern uses only knits and purls to create a fun, textured stitch that I instantly fell in love with!

So it seemed only natural to put these two ideas together to knit up a pair of lightweight gloves in fingering-weight yarn.

Sample is shown in Knit Picks Twill Fingering in “Patchwork Heather”. Any high-twist wool yarn or multi-ply wool or wool blend would work well for this pattern. A fingering-weight acrylic would also work nicely
