Fingerless Gloves "Kjellrun", 2 sizes

What do we need when it's storming and snowing outside? Chic arm warmers which are cuddly warm, have an effective pattern and are quick to knit!.

The arm warmers KJELLRUN are worked in the round as fingerless gloves. A thumb gusset provides a good fit and they are open towards your hands, so you will have warm hands and enough freedom to perform a variety of work.
They are knitted with needle size 3.5 - 4.5 mm (depending on size), which means this is a quick knit! I used a yarn made of soft alpaca, but you can also use virgin wool yarns or even 8-ply sock yarns. The Diamond Stitch Pattern is easy to knit if you have some practice in knitting and know the basic techniques. And the pattern is both, charted and written!
