Questions & Answers
- Why fingerless gloves? They are wonderful for Driving, Walking, Knitting, typing, texting, or anything where you need finger dexterity!
- What if I need a different size? This pattern fits a pretty good range(*see sizing image below). (however for larger or smaller hands see directions for adjustment in the PDF Pattern).
- Is this a good beginner pattern? YES! There are a few little tricky spots, but overall it’s very simple! (although if you are a beginner the free instructions may not have enough information so you might want to consider purchasing the PDF Pattern).
- Would these make a good gift? These make excellent gifts! They wear and last extremely well because they are made with sock yarn!
- How long will they take to make? This will depend how fast you can knit… they take me about 8 to 10 hours(knitting time) per pair, so if you work at it you can actually finish a pair in a day… however I don’t often have 8 hours to sit and knit without interruption!
- Can I make them on the go? YES! These are a perfect project to knit on the go!
- What if I don’t have 9″ circulars? This pattern can be worked with any circular knitting method, and it can even be knitted flat and then seamed. (see page 18 in the pattern for instructions)
