Blümchen Fingerless Gloves
These stylish fingerless gloves are knitted flat using a cozy garter stitch, making them both fashionable and functional. Each glove features a thumb designed with a clever short row technique, ensuring a comfortable fit. The eye-catching flower pattern is achieved through the intarsia method, adding a beautiful touch to the overall design. The project begins with a provisional cast-on (CO) for a clean edge and is expertly finished by grafting in garter stitch, ensuring seamless construction. After the grafting is complete, the side seams are sewn up, resulting in a polished final product.
