Arume

The Arume fingerless gloves are a joy for those who, like me, love stranded colourwork. They’re quick and fun to knit. Use up your fingering scraps and you’ll have a fabulous present in no time (once you’ve knitted some for yourself, of course!). Arume means perfume in the dialect of the region of Spain where I’m from and it felt like a perfect name for these gloves.

MATERIALS

• 2.75 mm (US 2) circular needles, either 80 cm / 32” long (if you use the magic loop method), or 23 cm / 9” (if you prefer short circulars) or DPNs (double-pointed needles). If you use short circular needles you’ll still need a long circular needle or DPNs for the thumb.
  
• 1 marker for the beginning of round and a different one to separate the palm stitches from the back of the glove stitches.
  
• Tapestry needle and waste yarn.
