Knitting Pattern: Two-Needle Knitted Gloves

The key to knitting these gloves is careful counting. Best of all, you don't need double-pointed needles to make them, and each glove is made in one piece to save time on sewing. You can make several sets for yourself, as gifts for friends and loved ones, or for bazaar or charity donations. They're also a good way to use up those parts of skeins we all seem to collect from time to time. So get out your stitch markers and prepare to warm up your winter wardrobe.
