Hi

I have looked at many sites for patterns, wristwarmers / fingerless gloves.

I would like patterns knitted straight and not in the round.

Does anyone here know where i can look, I thought maybe some of you may know sites I have not thought of.

Booklets or patterns i can look though.

Many Thanks

Junie

Hi junie, 

I remembered doing this pattern some time ago.  As I recall it might suit your needs as described in your post.  You should check it out!  It's worked in stockinette, short rows, seamed up one side for a tailored fit.  They were done is a variegated yarn but you could use a solid, or whatever self striping you like as well.  It's a free download right here on KD.

Hi Junie,

Another place  to look would be the website for Creative Knitting.  I'm not sure but I think the site is creativeknittingmagazine.com.  I have seen patterns there for wristers knit both flat and in the round.  They have the pattern I use the most for what I refer to as my gamer's gloves or computer gloves.  They are made in the round and done with self striping sock yarn.  The pattern is actually a great pattern to learn to knit with double point needles and work in the round.  The pattern is in the March 2007 issue of Creative Knitting.
