It didn't take too long to make these. I really almost never use knitting patterns, so I made these off the top of my head. If you'd like to be guided in the right direction to make something like this, here are a few pointers...
- I used green bamboo spun yarn. It is, in fact, the very same yarn that I used to make the tassels in last post's scarf.
- I used size 10 1/2 needles
- Rather than using some crazy pattern, I knit eight different size rectangles and used a tapestry needle to sew each piece in the correct area. I'd have a set number of loops for each finger or hand piece, and I'd just knit until the length of it matched the length of the actual person's hand. Here's a diagram:
Thank you Grandloving.com for hand outline
- Please keep in mind that these particular numbers are for a full-grown man's hand. I also had to add on to the end, as the wrist part came out a little bit short, so I knit a short bit with 32 loops and sewed it onto the end. :)
Be brave!
