Mini Albizia Gloves

Inspired by the vibrant foliage of the Albizia tree, these charming fingerless gloves showcase a beautifully smooth, gently laced pattern on the top, while the underside features a classic plain stockinette stitch. Crafted with young knitters in mind, this pattern includes an easy openwork design and offers two size options tailored for little hands, making it perfect for advanced beginner knitters and above. This lovely fingerless glove pattern is the children's version of our beloved teen/adult Albizia design, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the warmth and style of handmade accessories.

These delightful gloves can be knitted using one of two different yarn weights, depending on the size you choose to create. For the smallest size, suitable for children aged 3-7 years (Option A), we recommend using sock/3ply weight yarn paired with 2.75mm/US2 size needles. Alternatively, for the child size 6-10 years (Option B), you’ll use fingering/4ply weight yarn and 3.0mm/US2.5 size needles. This versatility allows you to pick the perfect materials to suit your project and preferences.

The design of these gloves incorporates up to 1” / 2.5 cm of negative ease, depending on the knitter's preference for fit. The pictured gloves are modelled on a hand with a circumference of 6.5” / 16.5 cm at the knuckles, ideal for around an 8-year-old. With this detailed pattern, you can create a stylish and functional accessory that not only keeps little hands warm but also showcases their unique personality through customizable yarn choices. Whether you’re creating a thoughtful gift or a cozy addition to your child’s wardrobe, these Albizia-inspired fingerless gloves are sure to delight!
