Now I Have a Set
My next project after my hat was a pair of matching fingerless gloves. I used this free pattern, that is knit flat and seamed together. I only had straight needles at the time, so my options were limited. However, I really like this pattern. It is fast, easy and easy to modify.
Since my yarn was bulkier than the yarn called for in the pattern, I used my guage from my hat, and cast on about 25% less stitched. I then followed the pattern as is, but with 25% less everything (stitches, increases, rows, etc). It worked out really well actually!
The bulky yarn is pretty, but I think that it kind of makes my hands look chubby. But I don’t care, they are really mostly used while at work, so my fingers don’t freeze at the keyboard!

Those are super cute (but they don’t make your hands look chubby)!! The yarn is beautiful. I am currently on a “tweed” like yarn craze right now – what yarn is that?
Have a great Monday!
FYI to those interested: The yarn is Moda Dea ‘Tweedle Dee’, which is sadly discontinued now:(
Those are so pretty! I just found you via your puff slouchy hat on Craftster. LOVE that hat! I’m so jealous you’re in SF- so many yarn shops in the Bay Area!
