If you’re looking to knit something new, this might be it! Utilizing the “continuous star stitch” technique, the ridges that swirl up the arm and over the back of the hand will literally stand out and give the gloves a fantastic three-dimensionality. The added bulk of the ridges more than make up for the eyelets in terms of warmth, and your hands will be nice and cozy on cold days.

You might not be familiar with the technique, but this pattern is a fun way to learn it. The charts and abbreviations make it clear and simple, easy to follow.
