Hearts Fingerless Gloves Knitting Pattern
My Hearts Fingerless Gloves knitting pattern has just had a much needed update. The original pattern was released in 2011 using a yarn that has been discontinued. So, I’ve rewritten the pattern using yarn that is readily available – Rowan Felted Tweed DK!

Autumn Leaves & Shetland Lace
