Woven Cable Fingerless Gloves

Woven Cable Fingerless Gloves (made with Aslan Trends Del Cerro)

I’ve finished writing this pattern for four hand sizes, 7.5 “, 8″, 8.5″, and 9 ” hand circumference.  It’s been popular for guys, which was my aim, but just as many women have knitted  it for themselves. In fact, the photo above shows the smallest size on a young women’s hand.  For your free copy of the pattern, click on this link for an automatic PDF download.  I plan to design a matching beanie for men , and then tackle a matching banded hat, like a beret, for women.  Not sure when those will get done, but I’m presently beginning to work on the beanie.

Fingerless Gloves for Guys

Woven Cable Fingerless Gloves (made with Del Cerro by Aslan Trends)

At the shop (Northcoast Knittery, Eureka, CA), we give out some of our own pattern designs free to customers who buy the yarn to make them.  I decided that I needed to work up some fingerless gloves, including plain ones,  and one with a design that guys would like.  As it turns out, it looks like I came up with a design that both sexes find appealing!  I’ve been very pleased with the number of people requesting the pattern, both guys and gals to make for both guys and gals .  In fact, I’ve got three people awaiting the resizing of the pattern for  large sizes, as I’ve only worked up the small and medium sizes so far.  The cool thing about the woven cable fingerless gloves is that the  pattern can be worn on the top of the glove as a design, or on the palm for a thickened glove for those who want to wear these while doing  manual labor.  Thanks to the Sip and Knit gang at the Northcoast Knittery for suggesting that reversible function!  If you want a copy of the pattern, email me and let me know.  I do hope to get this pattern up on Ravelry as well, but until then, you should just contact me directly at harry@goodforaboy.com.  Next, I plan to design a hat to match the woven cable gloves.
