The fingerless gloves of Bofur the Dwarf as seen on the hands of actor James Nesbitt in the Hobbit movies are now available as a Do-It-Yourself kit containing the beautiful wool and instructions to make these fingerless gloves.

Designed by Stansborough from the Stansborough Mithril Yarn Range. The very same wool supplied by Stansborough to the 3 Foot 7 art department for the Hobbit movies.

Make up the kit yourself or gift to any avid knitter or Hobbit Fan. Just imagine - it’s like being part of the costume crew.

A great accompaniment to The Hat of Bofur the Dwarf and Bofur’s Scarf knitting yarn kit.

The kit contains:

  • 1x50g ball of Stansborough 8Ply Yarn 100% New Zealand wool in colour: Kokako
  • Easy-to-follow pattern to create your own piece of Middle Earth.
  • Instructions to make a pair of gloves in sizes fitting either a 7 inch (18cm) wrist or an 8 inch (20cm) wrist. Please note that the yarn has been calculated to be enough for the larger of these two sizes, but no more, so if you adjust the pattern yourself for even larger gloves, you may need another kit.

What you will also need:

  • Beginner - intermediate knitting skills
  • 3.75 mm (US Size 5) double pointed needles
  • 2 stitch markers

Beautifully packaged with the story of Stansborough in a cardboard box, eminently suitable as a gift box.
