Salmon River Fingerless Gloves

Looking for a fun and unique knitting project? Use that vibrant, bulky weight ball or skein of yarn in your stash! This delightful fingerless gloves pattern is perfect for showcasing self-striping or variegated yarns, adding an eye-catching element to your handmade accessories.

These fingerless gloves are not only stylish but also enjoyable to knit. The clever use of short rows creates an intriguing construction that will keep your crafting experience engaging from start to finish. Unlike traditional methods, these gloves are knit flat, making the process easier and less fiddly than knitting in the round. The finishing touch includes a garter stitch seaming technique that is virtually invisible, ensuring there are no bulky seams to distract from the beautiful colors of your yarn. If you’re new to this technique, fear not—look for our tutorial link in the pattern to guide you through the process!

This pattern is perfect for adventurous beginners and offers a great opportunity to refine your knitting skills while creating a functional and stylish accessory. The pattern includes two versions: a women’s version using Malabrigo Twist, crafted from 100% Merino wool, which features 150 yards (137 meters), weighing 3.5 oz (100 gm). We recommend the stunning color Liquid Ambar for a rich, bold look.

For younger knitters, the child’s version uses the self-striping Adriafil Knitcol, also made from 100% Merino. It has 137 yards (125 meters) and weighs 1.75 oz (50 gm), and we suggest color 67 for a fabulous, playful design. To ensure a perfect fit, the gauge for the child's gloves is 18 stitches by 40 rows, measuring 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm).

Whether you’re looking to keep warm while typing or simply want a stylish accessory to add to your wardrobe, these fingerless gloves are a fantastic project to tackle. Dive into your stash, pick out that bulky weight yarn, and get ready to create a pair of gloves that are both functional and fun!
