Albizia Gloves Knitting Pattern | Purl Foundry

Description

Stay cozy this winter with Albizia-inspired fingerless gloves designed by Purl Foundry. The top of each glove features a smooth, gently laced pattern that mimics the foliage of the Albizia tree, while the underside is made with plain stockinette for extra comfort. These gloves are designed to keep your knuckles and wrists warm and can even be worn under ski gloves for added warmth.

The pattern comes in three sizes to fit all adults and is also seperately available in a mini version for kids. These gloves are knit in the round from the wrist up, with the thumb gusset picked and knit at the end. Intermediate level knitters and above will find this pattern interesting and rewarding. Order your Albizia fingerless gloves pattern today and get ready to cozy up!
