Ruffle Children’s Fingerless Gloves

Follow

After making the ruffled leg warmers I wanted to make a matching pair of ruffle fingerless gloves.  Using the leg warmer pattern as my base – I was able to make a pattern.  I decided to add some fun fur to the gloves and am so glad that I did.  I really like these and think I need to readjust the pattern for an adult size!

Ruffle Children’s Fingerless Gloves

Items Needed

1 skein medium weight yarn (I used the leftover skein from the leg warmers and still had yarn left)

I used a blue hue fun fur yarn – so one glove is lighter blue fun fur and the other a darker hue of blue – both Stella and I thought it made them look cool.
