The Cable Banded Fingerless Gloves combine fashion and fun with warmth and convenience in mind. You won’t have to slip off these gloves to use your phone’s touch screen. These gloves pair well with my Striped Cable Slouchy pattern (Seen in image 2 but pattern NOT included with this purchase). Directions are given for four sizes: small (ages 4-6), medium (ages 7-10), large (teen/adults) and x-large. A lengthy note is included on how to adjust the circumference of the gloves to account for differing hand sizes. These gloves are made using worsted weight yarn and can be whipped up in an evening or two.
