Pattern Description:

Fingerless gloves are the greatest! These gloves were originally designed to match a fun Cupcake Hat which had the same ruffle on its fold-back brim and I just love how they came out!

Super-simple to make, they begin with a short ruffle, progress to a small bit of corrugated ribbing, then on to the gusset with directional increases. They are finished with an amazingly elegant lateral braid bind-off.

You can make them one-at-a-time or two-at-a-time, but either way, they are done in a flash. Use Noro Silk Garden and watch them stripe or just use up your stash and have fun mixing colors yourself.
