Pin ItHomemade presents are the best presents in my opinion because you know the person really thought about the gift and put some time into it. Also, I enjoy making gifts for people too so it’s a win win.
I needed to get a gift for a friend and decided on fingerless gloves. I have a pair and love them. I have also decided to make a pair of fingerless gloves for my dad because he uses a cane and these will allow him to keep his hands warm and still have the ability to grip the cane. For my friend’s gloves, I decided on a 100% baby alpaca chunky yarn in gray because it’s so soft and warm. It’s also just my favorite yarn to knit and gray goes with everything.
easy pattern/ how I did it:
- cast on 32
- k2 p2
- continue pattern until it reaches desired length I made mine about 8 inches because I wanted the glove to go all the way under the coat sleeve so no skin was exposed
- cast off in the k2 p2 pattern
- fold in half lengthwise and whip stitch up the side leaving an opening for your thumb about an inch down from the top
Then you have great fingerless gloves for the late fall and winter!
This pattern can easily be adjusted for men and women. Just reduce or increase the stitches by the pattern of 4 stitches (k2p2)
