I designed these gloves to match the Masala hat by Meera Kothari Cho I knit my youngest sister for our xmas exchange. She saw her hat and asked, "but where are my fingerless gloves"? I couldn't find any designs to match, so voila! The Tikka fingerless gloves were born, a perfect match for the Masala hat!
