An bright and cheerful fingerless glove pattern giving you plenty of room for your fingers to type while still keeping everything warm.

Uses a variation on the chevron pattern from the Jaywalker socks by Grumperina.

These are snug on my wrists, which feels great, and you can easily adapt the size by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches by 8 when you cast on. Then it’s just two more (or less) extra stitches - one at the beginning and one at the end of the repeated lace pattern.

You just need 4-ply sock yarn, 2.75mm needles (or whichever to reach tension), a couple of stitch markers, a row counter, and scrap yarn.

And you’ll need to know how to knit in the round (either on circular or double-pointed needles), how to increase stitches by knitting back and forth (kfb), how to increase stitches by picking up the stitch bar below, how to decrease stitches by slipping two, knitting one, and then pulling the two slipped stitches over s2k1ps2so), and how to pick up stitches.
