Fingerless Gloves are perfect for keeping your hands warm and still be able to use your touch screen phone. These can be made in any color. Make a Camel Stitch Ear Warmer and Fringe Scarf for the complete ensemble.

The Camel Stitch Fingerless Gloves are constructed in length wise rows using the camel stitch. The camel stitch makes your work look knitted. It is also called the knit stitch to some. There is a thumb hole on the side and open at the top for the other fingers. These work up quick and use little yarn.

See video tutorial at the bottom of post.
