Mauerblümchen Fingerless Gloves

These stylish fingerless gloves are expertly knitted flat in a delightful garter stitch, making them both functional and fashionable. The gloves feature a unique design shaped with short rows around a distinctive point at the outer wrist, allowing for a comfortable fit. The thumb is crafted in two halves, utilizing a short knitted cast-on and bind-off technique to create a seamless look. Adding to their charm, the flower pattern is intricately done using the intarsia technique, bringing a pop of color to your knitting project.

Designed for those with some knitting experience, this project begins with a provisional cast-on and skillfully finishes with grafting in garter stitch. Finally, the side seams are neatly sewn up for a polished appearance. Please note, as this is a complex intarsia project involving three colors and the use of short rows, it is NOT a beginner pattern.
