Ivory Hawk - fingerless gloves: A pattern by MayB

Since I learned how to knit almost 4 years ago, I have adapted many a pattern to suit my needs. It wasn't until I had a handful of gorgeous yarn and a friend requesting some fingerless gloves that I decided I just needed to do my own thing.

I made them, she loved them, and now I want to share the pattern with you. Aren't you lucky?

Now, if you aren't a knitter, you won't care. Just look at the pretty picture. If you are a knitter, these are easy whip up and lovely to wear. A great gift for someone you love.

These gloves are named after the yarn I used. I thought it suited them perfectly. I hope you think so too!
