Fingerless gloves are one of my favorite knitting projects.  Add to that the yarn is from a special trip and I have gloves that I will wear often and memories of a wonderful trip.  The yarn is Koigu KPPPM fingering weight yarn in a colorway that was specially dyed for the Vogue knitting retreat that I attended in October 2017.

The pattern is one of my favorites.  The Pioneer Glove pattern by Kelly McClure of Bohoknits is a wonderful ribbed pattern that is knit in the round.  The thumb detail is so interesting to knit and to wear.

I knit these glove of my U.S. size 2 double pointed needles using just one skein of the Koigu KPPPM which is 175 yards.  I have a small amount of yarn left from the skein.  Pioneer Gloves  pattern is written for 3 sizes.  I knit the size small.

This is the second pair of gloves that I’ve knit with this pattern.  The first was with the North Light Fibers Water Street a DK weight yarn.  I am very please with the way these came out. They are thicker than the Koigu pair.  I didn’t get to use those since Mom grabbed them for herself before I had time to wear them.  There’s more information about this pair of gloves in this blog post.

Worsted Weight Fingerless Gloves

If you prefer to knit finger-less gloves in a worsted weight yarn, I released my pattern Cobblestone Lane late last year.   The pattern is in my Ravelry Pattern shop and  is knit on U.S. Size 6 & 7, using approximately 120 yards of yarn.

DK Weight Fingerless Gloves

And my newest pattern is Island Crossing mitts.  I knit this pair using North Light Fiber Water Street DK yarn on U.S. Size 5 &6 needles and approximately 140 yards of yarn.  This pattern is in my Ravelry shop here.

So, as you see, I love mitts and finger-less gloves and use different weight yarns that create a different thickness for the varying weather.  I wear my all the time and often leave them on indoors when I’m shopping to keep some of the germs off my hands especially during this year’s flue season.
