#367 Celine Fingerless Gloves

Introducing a stunning addition to your knitting repertoire: these elegant leaf lace stitch fingerless gloves. Similar to the popular Celine Cowl and Marlene Cardigan, this intricate stitch pattern serves as a beautiful embellishment that enhances an otherwise streamlined design. Perfect for both novice and experienced knitters, this project combines aesthetics and functionality in a charming way.

Crafted from incredibly soft fingering-weight yarn, these fingerless gloves make an excellent gift or a delightful stash-buster for your yarn collection. Their unique design allows for increased dexterity while keeping your hands warm, making them ideal for chilly days or stylish layering.

The gloves are seamlessly knit in the round, beginning with a few inches of cozy wrist ribbing. As you transition into the delicate lace panel, the ribbing continues on the palm side, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. To create the thumb opening, stitches are temporarily put on hold, followed by cast-on stitches for the upper portion. Once the lace pattern is completed and the top ribbing is added, the thumb is finished off with ribbing for a consistent look.

To help guide you through the thumbhole technique, we've included helpful photos that clearly illustrate each step of the process. Lace instructions are provided in both charted and written formats, catering to different knitting preferences. With just 105-170 yards of fingering-weight yarn required for each pair, this pattern is not only efficient but also versatile.

This knitting pattern includes detailed instructions for two sizes and lengths, making it easy to customize the gloves to fit anyone in your life. The gloves shown are crafted in the luxurious DROPS Alpaca yarn, which adds a touch of softness and warmth. Whether you're making them for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, these fingerless gloves are sure to impress and keep hands warm in style.
