Fingerless Gloves - Blog Posts

Fingerless gloves make about as much sense to me as vests but there is a key difference between them

Fingerless gloves look rad

And vests

Look fucking stupid

Had to make myself some grey fingerless gloves. Terror brainworms made me do it.

I noticed when looking for reference pictures to explain to my non-The Terror friends why these gloves were so necessary that the characters whose gloves are closest to this either have full fingers (Crozier) or are fingerless but without ribbed tops (Blanky and Jopson), but I'd already made the ribbed tops of fingers. They're very comfy & utilitarian though, I'd bet money that at least *one* of the guys had ribbed-top fingerless gloves!

They're in 8ply 100% wool, so not completely historical (they would've had finer yarn in the 1840s) but made with what I had (historical in spirit then, since 'use what you've got' is historical). I knit loosely so these are on 2.50mm double point needles at 6 stitches per inch.

I'm cursed to live in a warm climate so I won't get that much use out of them but sometimes I make things for the *vibes*
