Product Description
The attractive braid pattern on the back of the hand attracts admiring glances. The elastic cuff automatically adjusts to fit any wrist. The thumb is well worked out and offers enough space and freedom of movement. The hand and the pulse are reliably warmed, only the fingertips peek out and give us the necessary fingertip feeling for everyday life. The annoying donning and doffing of gloves is no longer necessary.
The hand warmers can be knitted even by knitting beginners. I explain and show you everything in detail on 12 pages. For the professionals among you is also a graphic for the cable pattern attached. You can knit the cuffs in 2 sizes (S/M normal ladies hand size or L/XL for large hands).
You can choose any yarn you like: easy-care acrylic yarn, silky-glossy merino wool, cuddly-soft alpaca wool or a ball of your favorite wool from your scraps basket. Anything you like and that matches the stitch sample can be knitted! For all my examples I have indicated the knitted yarns.
Fingerless Gloves with Braid in Tulip Shape
What Is Being Made
These fingerless gloves feature a distinctive braid design arranged in a tulip shape. The pattern offers two size options—S/M and L/XL—making them suitable for various adult hand sizes. Fingerless gloves are versatile accessories that provide warmth while keeping fingers free for typing, crafting, or other detailed work.
Craft and Technique
This is a knitting project designed by Knitwork By Ina with an intermediate difficulty level. The pattern employs braided cable techniques to create the signature tulip-shaped motif that distinguishes these gloves from basic fingerless designs. Knitters will work with traditional knitting methods to construct the glove structure while incorporating the braid pattern as a decorative and structural element.
Stitches and Methods
The pattern utilizes braiding techniques to form the tulip shape detail. While specific stitch abbreviations are not detailed in the provided content, the intermediate skill level suggests the pattern includes standard knitting stitches combined with cable or braid manipulations. Knitters should be comfortable reading pattern instructions and managing multiple stitches simultaneously.
Materials Required
- Yarn: 2 ounces (50g) for size S/M or 2.1 ounces (60g) for size L/XL of DK weight yarn. The pattern specifies 'Omega' from Lang Yarns as the recommended yarn, though any yarn achieving the same gauge is suitable. DK weight yarn (11 wpi) provides an appropriate thickness for fingerless gloves.
- Needles: One set of 5 double-pointed needles in size US 2.5 (UK 11; EU 3mm), measuring 6–8 inches in length. Double-pointed needles allow for seamless circular knitting in the round.
- Notions: A darning needle for weaving in yarn ends and finishing.
