Thanks you for these instructions…my daughter likes to wear these at work for constantly on the computer. She has a hard time finding them in Houston, TX where weather is hat.
Great, hope these work for you!
I love fingerless gloves. I use them when driving on those 40 degree days that the steering wheel is c-o-l-d! This is an easy enough pattern to make a set in every color! I like mine a half-inch longer in the hand.
Can’t wait to make these for my granddaughters.
I have made these for my daughter. The pattern is easy to follow. It is good intro to using double ended needles. Thank you.
Wonderful! So happy these worked for you!
I made my first one and now I started the second one. I made the first in a day. A few hours.
