After watching me knit about eight pairs of fingerless gloves for gifts, both my girls decided they had to have their very own pair – in pink of course. I created this pattern for them – in toddler and youth sizes – with a simple braided cable design and a shorter wrist and thumb length. The toddler size has a shorter ribbed top so more of the cable is visible.
This project was a great stash buster. I made a pair of each size from 1 and a half balls of yarn. I chose a superwash wool because, well, …kids. Enough said on that.
They knit up very quickly – about an hour a pair. And everyone had a blast striking poses and showing off their new winter accessory (even though it was VERY warm).
Here is a free download of this pattern or you can find it at my Ravelry store.
