Fingerless gloves have burst onto the fashion scene in recent
years--with designers from Gucci to Kate Spade embracing this popular
style. Now home knitters can create personalized fingerless gloves using
original Japanese knitting patterns.
From the editors of Nihon Vogue--the Japanese publisher of worldwide
knitting bestsellers by Hitomi Shida, Yoko Hatta, Keiko Okamoto and
other top knitting designers--Easy Knitted Fingerless Gloves presents
an updated take on a favorite cool weather accessory with classic
patterns like Fair Isle, Aran, cables and knit-and-purl, all knitted
using Japanese charts and techniques.
Among the 21 patterns in this book you'll find:
- Fair Isle-patterned gloves with lacy cuffs
- A pair of slouchy, lightweight arm warmers
- Cozy picot-finished gloves with loop-stitched cuffs
- Elegant beaded mohair cuffs
- And more!
The colorful patterns and classy neutrals offer something for every
personal style and level of coziness. A few basic lessons--aimed at
those who already have some knitting experience--and a step-by-step
guide to the Japanese knitting symbols help simplify the process.
Easy Knitted Fingerless Gloves brings knitters everywhere a step
closer to Japan's much-loved styles and techniques. Once you get
