Fingerless Gloves/Glittens

Materials

Set of 5 plus spare needles to hold stitches not being worked (or use a length of yarn if you don’t have spare needles, but it is harder to slip sts on/off as needed)

I knit the fingers and thumbs on 4 needles as there were so few stitches
I used 3.25mm needles but I knit quite loosely so you may need to use 3.75 or 4mm to get the right tension
Tension
22sts to 4ins/10cms
My tension is quite loose, so I needed to use 3.25mm needles (UK no 10)

I had cold hands and decided I wanted a pair of straws (fingerless gloves with gloves on top). The first pair I made with Lornas Laces, which is very soft and warm but not so good when wet! So I raided on a cheap and fun acrylic stash and realized that I wouldn’t be enough to make a pair in one color, so I was a bit caught up in it.
