Windrädchen Fingerless Gloves

These fingerless gloves are designed in triangles around the thumb. The knitting direction changes often, so it is a brilliant way to display some self striping or hand-dyed sock yarn. The name "Windrädchen” is the german word for pinwheel.

Since this pattern uses quite a few knitting techniques, it is NOT A BEGINNER PATTERN.
