Inspired by the foliage of the Albizia tree, these fingerless gloves create a smooth, gently laced pattern on the top and plain stockinette on the underside.

Features an easy openwork pattern with two size options for little hands. This is the children’s version of our Albizia Glove pattern.

This is a printed pattern. Beautifully printed and folded into A DLE envelope brochure size, this will be posted to you.

These gloves are knit in the round from the wrist up with the thumb gusset picked and knit at the end. Suitable for Intermediate level knitters and above.

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 skein to the next so there will always be some variation between the photo and each individual skein. 

We highly recommend getting enough yarn for your project. To encourage this, you can exchange extra skeins if they are in their original condition, thus ensuring your project will have consistency. We dye in small, project sized batches, and don’t have dye lots.

Part of the hand dyed allure is each skein's individuality, even within a batch dyed at the same time. 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.
