Pattern Description from Marnie MacLean.com: “Like the Hooray For Me Gloves, these gloves stop mid finger for maximum dexterity. I love to wear these gloves while walking Panda to, where else, Lake Park. With my fingers free, I can easily adjust my iPod, or give Panda a nice scratch behind the ears, but the gloves gives me just enough warmth to keep out the Portland winter chill. These employ the same stitch pattern as the Lake Park Hat, but are worked at a tighter gauge.

I’ve used my own handspun fiber, however, you don’t have to be a spinner to make this pattern. You can substitute any variegated sock weight yarn to get great results.

If you want to use handspun, but your yarn is a little thicker, I’ve offered suggestions for customizing the fit. You’ll see them indented and italicized like this:

*Customization directions look like this.*
