Fingerless gloves are known for ages. For some time they weren't very popular. Nowdays their necessity is motivated by the reality and modern human needs. Many buttons surround us and we have to press them. Fingers should be free and hands be protected from cold and wind. That's how fingerless gloves appeared.
For knitting these men's fingerless gloves 100% Berne dog (Sennenhund) underfur with addition of soft merino wool was used. The yarn of this underfur is soft, silky and with shine. This accessory is knitted of black (pitch glance) underfur. For dog underfur pure black colour is much to seek that makes Berne dog underfur unique.
The items of the yarn have some advantages. Firstly, there are convenient and comfortable while wearing, soft and flossy. Secondly, pitch black colour with silky shine makes the fingerless gloves strict on the one hand, and stylish and attractive on the other. Furthermore, fingerless gloves of black colour fit perfectly to any colour-rage overclothes, especially for coat or jacket of thick woolen cloth that says about practicability and flexibility of the accessory. This work is may be said for those who appreciate not only aesthetic appearance, but also comfort, softness, naturality of a knitted work and its warmness.
The fingerless gloves are knitted with 'prominent tail' pattern. It has some advantages. Firstly, it looks great. 'Tail' pattern will adorn every work if yarn is straight, not thick, and a work is knitted closely. But there is another advantage - 'tail' pattern implies combination of front and back side mashes which creates ribbing effect. It's one of the best choices for fingerless gloves, mittens, gaiters, knee socks and other tight-fitting works. A hand can be narrow and wide of the same size. This means fingerless gloves knitted with 'prominent tail' pattern will fit for both variants. This point is of no small importance for any knitted work.
The work doesn't have any signs of dog wool smell, as it has two stages of washing: firstly the yarn itself is washed, then the finished work goes washing. I don't use cutted wool, only underfur.
