Today’s featured Best of 30 Days of Cozy pattern is something special from Fiona of ReVe Design Co. She’s designed these Easy Fit Gloves just for you. Here’s what she has to say about the design:
Take one of those gorgeous hanks of hand-dyed sock wool from your stash and put it to good use! As you make a pair of the EasyFit Lite Gloves, you’ll be guided through customization for different finger lengths and special joins to minimize gaps. There’s even a bonus with this pattern. When you purchase the premium downloadable version, you will also have instructions to adjust the pattern to complete these as Fingerless Mitts. It’s an Intermediate level pattern, due to the fiddly joins.

Special Join (proprietary) To join the two sides of the glove to form the holes for the various fingers, without a gaping hole (see photos in “Thumb” section), you’ll need to insert the hook into the Back Loop Only of the current stitch AND the stitch indicated on the opposite side. Draw the yarn through both the loops and continue with the stitch as normal. The next stitch will be tricky, as it will include the back loop from the special join, as well as the front loop of the same stitch from the previous row. This is important, as it reduces holes between the sections.
