knit mittens help

Posted by starla torres on May 5, 2009, 1:39 pm

I am getting ready to start my first fingerless gloves. I have 2 patterns
that I have found. One is knit in the round with dpn's. The other is knit
on 2 straight needles. Has anyone made gloves with the 2 straight needles?
And how did they turn out. I am a beginner/intermediate knitter and the
thought of making those little itty bitty fingers on dpn's is a bit
daunting.

I preffer the Seamless gloves saves sewing sits much better on the
hand , and after you get used to knitting on DP , you might do them
both on 2 circulars ,

I agree with Mirjam, the DPs get easier with practice. I used 2 needles
many years ago and they turned out fine. Please try both ways. On 2
straight needles if you use the blind seam they will look great and feel
fine.
