Cold Turkey

My favorite thing about these gloves is the simple shaping.  Working all the increases for the thumb along the top of the hand allows for a snug-fitting palm, and it looks pretty cool, too.  And all that roomy ribbing worked over extra stitches really lets me stretch my fingers out and wear all my bracelets while keeping the cold from going up my sleeves.  I’m a huge fan of knitted fingerless gloves and these ones are the perfect thing for everyday wear.

Fabulous pattern, just wonderful. I love the switheroo btwn larger and smaller needles. This prevents the too-tight arm band and the too-tight hand and thumb bind-off. I used Cascade 220 superwash. US 6 and US 8 needles.
