I love fingerless gloves with constructions that are a bit out of the ordinary. These fingerless gloves have a middle part knitted on a 45 degree angles. They are all in garter stitch and mainly knitted knitted flat (back and forth) – with the exception of the thumb.
They are a great way to show off variegated or self-striping yarn. Because the lengths of the rows vary, colour pooling is less probable.

The pattern PDF is 13 pages long and contains:

• written row-by-row instructions for knitting these gloves in one size – including twelve photos of the different stages
• explanations how to adapt the pattern to other sizes
• explanations how to knit a variation of these pieces with stockinette stitch in the middle (see last two photos)
• short photo tutorials for the following techniques: Magic CO, kbf (a stitch symmetrical to a kfb), Three-Needle Bind Off, German Short Rows and how to work the resulting “double-stitch”, picking up Stitches from a gap to avoid holes

You should be comfortable with using the magic loop technique to knit these pieces.

The finished pieces (unstretched garter stitch) measure 17 cm in height, with a circumference of 15 cm at the top and 17 cm at the bottom.

I used the following yarns:

• for the ones in the title picture I used Hedgehog Fibres, Skinny Singles, (colorway Goblin)
• for the green ones with dark blue contrast stripes, I used Lana Grosse Meilenweit Socktober (colorway 18314321, green), with Wollmeise Pure (dark blue)
• for the ones with a stockinette part (last two pictures) I used Supergarne Aktiv 4-fach (colorway 3358)
