Kellie Fingerless Gloves

What could be better than something fun to knit, fun to wear and fun to give away as well? These fingerless gloves can be knit up in no time, and are designed to use sock yarns you may already have in your stash.

I love jacquard-print sock yarn, and always have lots on hand due to my sock knitting obsession. Maybe you do too? The accent colors at bottom and top can be whatever you already have. Or head for your local yarn store to find just the right color combo to suit your mood.

A ribbed cuff protects wrists from chill winds, while the fingers and thumb keep the gloves securely in place. Wider ribbing across the back of the hand allows for a comfortable fit, yet doesn’t interfere with the jacquard patterning.
