Tatara Fingerless Glove Kit

Details

The surprising curved form of these arm warmers translates into artful scrunch that keeps your wrists toasty and adds a futuristic note to your wardrobe. The pattern is worked circularly from the palm to the forearm and makes an entertaining knit as the curved shape emerges.  This kit includes enough yarn to make two small pairs or one large pair!

Kit Includes: Tatara Pattern by Olga Buraya-Kefelian and one ball of Queensland Kathmandu Fingering.
