Kensington Fingerless Gloves
Introducing the Kensington Fingerless Gloves, a charming and elegant accessory crafted in the same beautiful style and utilizing the delicate stitch patterns as my popular beret pattern, “Kensington.” These fingerless gloves are not only a practical solution for keeping your hands warm during cooler months, but they also allow for full use of your fingers—perfect for texting, typing, or any other tasks that require dexterity. Additionally, the Kensington Fingerless Gloves serve as a fashionable style statement, seamlessly blending functionality with flair.
The gloves feature a lovely leaf lace pattern on the side facing out, showcasing your knitting skills, while the inside is comprised of soft stockinette stitch for maximum comfort against your skin. This makes the Kensington Fingerless Gloves an excellent choice for knitters new to lace work, as well as a delightful project for more experienced artisans looking for something a bit more engaging than plain stockinette stitch. It’s ideal for “TV knitting,” allowing you to create while enjoying your favorite shows or unwinding after a long day.
Designed to be knit in the round from the cuff to the top edge, these gloves mirror the aesthetic of the Kensington beret, ensuring a coordinated look. For the example shown in the pictures, I used a luxurious alpaca-silk blend, enhancing both the warmth and the overall elegance of the finished product. Requiring only two skeins of worsted weight wool, the Kensington Fingerless Gloves can be completed quickly, making them an excellent choice for near-instant gratification or as a thoughtful last-minute gift for friends and loved ones.
Whether you are an advanced knitter seeking an enjoyable project or a beginner eager to learn, the Kensington Fingerless Gloves offer the perfect balance of simplicity and style. Dive into this knitting adventure today and create a stunning accessory that you can wear with pride!
