I love knitting these easy knit fingerless gloves in the round using double pointed needles. These knit up quickly using a worsted weight yarn #4 for those last minute gifts.
Fingerless gloves or mitts are great to wear if your hands are cold but you still need to use your cell phone, work on the computer, or anything else that requires your fingers. Or just add a pop of color to your outfit.
My daughter loves wearing these fingerless gloves.
It’s that time of year again, time for the 24 Days of Quickies with Marly Bird! There are two crochet designs plus one knit each day for 24 days of December. The free PDF’s are available for 24 hours from each designer, so check back often and don’t miss out on these great patterns.

Remember these knit patterns from previous years with Marly Bird and Friends? They’re still available here on my website or on Ravelry.
Marly made me do it… lol!
These Easy Knit Fingerless Gloves would look great with my Easy Knit Beanie With 3D Crochet Flower. Make them in the same color yarn for a beautiful set.
