Mursten - cabled fingerless gloves
These stylish fingerless gloves are designed with a subtle masculinity in mind, making them a perfect unisex accessory for anyone looking to stay warm while showcasing their knitting skills. The unique cable crosses are beautifully laid against a full backdrop of reverse stockinette, creating an eye-catching look reminiscent of stacked bricks, rather than the more traditional inlaid design seen in standard stockinette. This distinctive texture not only enhances the visual impact of the gloves but also adds a layer of warmth and comfort.
The gloves are meticulously crafted as mirror images, ensuring that both the 2x2 ribbing and the intricate cable panel maintain a harmonious aesthetic on both hands. With this thoughtful design, knitters can enjoy a project that is as fun to create as it is to wear. The provided images showcase the gloves knitted in an adult men's size medium/large, but the comprehensive pattern includes detailed instructions on how to size down for a women's medium, making it accessible for all knitting enthusiasts.
The sample pair was expertly knit using madelinetosh Vintage in the rich Leopard colorway, employing size US 7 and 6 needles to achieve the perfect fit and texture. To complete this project, be sure to gather the additional required materials, which include stitch markers, a cable needle, stitch holders or scrap yarn, and a tapestry needle—essential tools to help you navigate this knitting pattern with ease.
Whether you're looking for a cozy accessory for yourself or a thoughtful handmade gift for a loved one, these fingerless gloves are sure to impress. Dive into this engaging knitting project and elevate your accessory game, all while enjoying the satisfaction of creating something unique and beautiful.
