Purl Foundry - Mini Albizia Gloves

Inspired by the foliage of the Albizia tree, these fingerless gloves create a smooth, gently laced pattern on the top and plain stockinette on the underside.

Features an easy openwork pattern with two size options for little hands. This is the children’s version of our Albizia Glove pattern.

These gloves are knit in the round from the wrist up with the thumb gusset picked and knit at the end. Suitable for Intermediate level knitters and above.
