The “Thumbs Up Fingerless Gloves” pattern is a PDF knitting pattern with detailed written instructions and 3 instructional videos for making this cozy fashion accessory.

This pattern is written for Child, Teen/Adult S, and Adult M/L sizes, with written instructions for 2 different yarn weights - Bulky (#5) and Super Bulky (#6).

Whether you’re sipping hot cocoa, typing away on your computer, or braving the chilly outdoors, these fingerless gloves are a great way to keep your hands warm while maintaining freedom of movement.

Some fingerless gloves patterns leave your thumbs uncovered and exposed to the cold, but with this easy method of making a thumb gusset you will get a great fit while keeping those oh-so-important thumbs comfy & cozy!!

With this pattern you get not one, but THREE style options in both weights of yarn:
Option A is an all-knit version
Option B has some purl rows at the top and bottom of the hand to add a nice design element
Option C has a traditional ribbed cuff on the lower hand and knit upper hand and thumb gusset

Needles required:
Bulky: 5.5 mm (US 9) & 6.5 mm (US 10.5) DPN’s or same size circular needles for magic loop method
Super Bulky: 8.0 mm (US 11) & 9.0 mm (US 13) DPN’s or same size circular needles for magic loop method
