Fingerless Cuffed Glovesea
Description: This pattern is written for acrylic worsted weight yarn. However, any yarn in a similar size can be used. Luxury yarns are especially nice. The first instruction is for the basic glove. Then you may add any of the three cuff styles listed below, or you can leave your gloves without cuffs. Special thanks to Luisa Patterson for creating the models shown.

Other Ideas:
Ihave made these gloves in many different size yarns with much success. If you feel you need to change the beginning chain to accommodate youryarn size, just be sure to add or subtract stitches in multiples of 4.For example, beg ch $=20$ , 24, 28, 32, etc. This is necessary to have the stitch pattern look correct. Decorate your gloves in many ways by adding pretty buttons, straps, flowers, or by using 2 or 3 colors of yarn. Experiment and be creative!I have added some pictures ofa few variations Ihave doneto give you an idea of what you can do!
