A pair of fingerless gloves with cables and a textured pattern on the palm for added grip, perfect for dog walking. Knitted in the round with non felting yarn, acrylic cotton or bamboo would all be a good substitute for the hemp yarn used. Of course if you’re not planning to use them for dog walking you could easily make these in a snuggly wool.

£3 from each pattern sold will be donated to Dogs Trust, a UK based dog welfare charity who operate a no kill policy and help around 16,000 stray and abandoned dogs every year including my own dog Ebony who the pattern is named after.
