We had such a sunny weekend. Kumo and Wata have been enjoying sunbathing every minute of it.Since I started to sell my reversible fingerless gloves on Etsy last winter, I've had so many requests for the pattern. I am so happy that you all like the gloves and want to make your own!
So here it is. It is NOW AVAILABLE ON MY SHOP (as well as at the end of this post). I have been working really hard to construct the pattern (what is hard is taking good photos, word processing, drawing diagrams and charts and taking video tutorials!). Now the whole package is here for you. Tada!! :D
Yes, it's May and the cold weather is a long way away. BUT this is the time to make nice winter accessories! You can wear them and show them off as soon as you feel cold in the air.
The detailed product specs are all written in the shop but here are the reasons why I totally believe these reversible fingerless gloves are so nice!WHY SO SPECIAL?
1. Design
- I was looking for nice warm, cute and fun reversible fingerless gloves. Though, I couldn't find any so I decided to make one!
- Grafting knitted fabrics are not the easiest thing to do. My reversible fingerless gloves are mainly knitted with stockinette stitches on purpose: this makes it easier to graft at the end. The last thing you want is a complicated grafting process after spending so much time knitting up a difficult pattern. :D
- Introduce yourself to embroidering on a knitted fabric. It provides a wonderful texture and gives such a nice 3D feature to the gloves. 100% satisfaction guaranteed!
- For those who already have my gloves (thanks! :D) they would know this, but they are SO WARM. The gloves are made with two layers so it traps the air in between to keep your hands extra warm.
- I deliberately made both the exterior and interior look very different. This means that you can wear both sides depending on what you wear and what you feel like! It's like having two pairs of gloves.
- The hard work is all done for you. There are LOTS of photos, charts, diagrams AND video tutorials to help you make the gloves. All you need to do now is to sit back and enjoy knitting.
Video TutorialI hope my previous video tutorials for the Macaroon Purse Kit was useful. I always find it easier to learn knitting by looking at other people do. So although my English is not perfect I created more video tutorials to help you make the gloves!
