How to Knit Gloves Part 5

Some Final Tips

• Use self-patterning sock yarn to add colour and pattern to the glove.
• Choose hand dyed yarns for colour variation in a simple glove.
• Work a single lace motif from a stitch dictionary on the back of hand. 

• Do fancy cuffs in a fashion yarn or in a two colour pattern.
• Work any simple stitch pattern over the back of hand segment. Choose seed, moss or little cables; pick a stitch pattern that can be easily memorized.
• Create fingerless gloves by stopping short after beginning the fingers and finishing with a few rows of a non-curling stitch like garter, rib or seed stitch.

• Look at sock patterns for stitch designs with small repeats which will work on gloves as well.
• Use gloves to sample stitch patterns from stitch dictionaries. 
• When using leftover yarn from a garment, use the project as inspiration and repeat an element for a co-coordinating glove.
