Albiza Gloves knitting pattern - Purlfoundry
Stay cozy this winter with our Albizia-inspired fingerless gloves. The top of each glove features a smooth, gently laced pattern that mimics the foliage of the Albizia tree, while the underside is made with plain stockinette for extra comfort. These gloves are designed to keep your knuckles and wrists warm and can even be worn under ski gloves for added warmth.
This is a printed pattern. Beautifully printed and folded into A DLE envelope brochure size, this will be posted to you.
The pattern comes in three sizes to fit all adults and is also available in a mini version for kids. These gloves are knit in the round from the wrist up, with the thumb gusset picked and knit at the end. Intermediate level knitters and above will find this pattern interesting and rewarding. Order your Albizia fingerless gloves pattern today and get ready to cozy up!

We try our best to make our photos as accurate as possible but every screen displays colour slightly differently, so we cannot guarantee complete accuracy. Hand-dyed yarns vary from one batch to the next so there will always be some variation between the photo and each individual skein.
Part of the hand dyed allure is each skein's individuality. This gives final objects depth and nuance. With this in mind we recommend alternating skeins (every other row in flat knitting and every row in circular knitting) on larger projects creating a more cohesive blend.
