Fingerless gloves are great little knit gifts that allow you to showcase cool stitch patterns!

This pair is knit completely in the round, starting with the ribbing at the wrist. Then it transitions nicely into the beautiful candlelight lace. At the thumb, stitches are placed on hold using waste yarn. Once the glove is completed at the top with a little bit of ribbing, the thumbhole sts are picked up and worked in the round to finish.

Photos are included to help explain the thumbhole technique.

Both gloves are worked the same, so they are interchangeable.

A coordinating hat, the #313 Alina Hat, is available to knit up with these gloves as a beautiful set.
