Knitting these is simple and creating them was even fun despite wanting it to be spring. I love the casual look a classic the combination of ribbing and the Risotto Stitch which gives a different appearance to a fingerless glove. The photograph compliments of my neighbors nice closed in gazebo. The pattern is easy to follow and they knit up quickly. Have fun!
