In this video tutorial and free PDF pattern download, I show step-by-step how to create a set of fingerless gloves! I will show you each step you need to create the project, starting with the cast-on and creating the thumb opening, cast-off and seaming! The best part - this project is KNIT FLAT - no need to knit in the round :)
