These are about as warm and cozy as you could ever hope for fingerless gloves to be. The yarn is knit at a tighter gauge than usual to keep the wind at bay, and they really do. When I first made these, I lived in western Maine USA and did a lot of walking; they really served me well on even the coldest of days. I made them specifically to wear over those cheap, ratty dollar store gloves that everyone has. They’re also great on their own, especially for tasks where you need full use of all your fingers.

The cable pattern is fun- big ovals interlocking with tight spiral cables that run up the center of them. Or, maybe they are conga-dancing lobsters? Can’t say for sure, but your imagination just might let you see it.
