Fingerless gloves

Knitting has gone by the wayside lately, but I got determined to finish these arm warmers/fingerless gloves/gauntlets or whatever you want to call them.


I first made this pattern (from Knitty) back in 2005, and I like it as much now as I did then. It's super simple. You just make a 2 x 2 rib in the round, stick in a buttonhole for the thumb, and finish it up.


The tight stitches allow it to stay form fitting around the curve of your arm.

I think these might benefit from some embellishment, though. Any ideas?

I just made a pair of grey fingerless gloves and added three silver coloured vintage buttons at the top of the glove on the side facing outwards.. uhm, I'm rubbish at explaining, but sort of like you'd see on the sleeve on vintage jackets and gloves and such.
