The Design

Our Welted Fingerless Gloves have a pretty practicality that make them a perennial favorite! They’re knit in the round, starting at the welted cuffs and moving on to a neat thumb gusset. Quick to make, these gloves are an easy and thoughtful gift—for yourself or for a friend!

The Welted Fingerless Gloves are an absolute treat to knit in String Dolcetto DK. Soft and sweet and light, Dolcetto DK is a gentle melody in wool and cashmere. The springy foundation of merino wool supports the downy cashmere in four cozily spun plies for a lofty, harmonious yarn. Bellissimo!

KNITTER'S NOTES
Some knitters have trouble with the thumb directions. It is a wordy patch, isn't it? Stick it out though, because the thumb bind-off is quite tidy. It might help to have someone read the directions out loud to you.

Pam points out that while buttons are optional, if you add them, you create a left and a right glove. Otherwise your gloves are reversible. Something to consider!
