The inspo

Keep your hands warm in style with these chic and customizable fingerless gloves and get used to the praise and admiration when you let people know that yes, you made them yourself!

The design

The stretchy yet sturdy ribbed cuff will gently hug your wrists while the ever-so-beautiful alpine stitch will truly make you stand out from the crowd. Make yourself and your little ones a pair or two, or stock up for your next craft fair – a pair will only take you a couple of hours to make!

Sizes & yardages

Sizes are written as follows: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) and correspond to toddler (child, adult S, M, L). The glove sizing is based on the hand circumference taken around the palm of your hand, just beneath the knuckles (don’t include the thumb in the measurement):

1 – 5.25”

2 – 6”

3 – 7”

4 – 7.75”

5 – 8.5”

You’ll need 60 (70, 135) (153, 164) yds for the short cuff version, or 100 (110, 180) (220, 235) yds for the long cuff version.
