Lobster Claws


No one seems to recognize this style of winter hand covering. They are called "Lobster Claws" and are used by cyclists as you have the brake fingers free from the others.

Mittens are warmer than gloves as your fingers keep each other warm. Lobster claws are warmer than gloves and have more flexibility/usability of the fingers than mittens. They are also easier to knit than gloves, almost as easy to knit as mittens.

The yarn? Autunno by DiVe. Dreamy soft merino in a self-patterning colorway. Guage was 4.25 sts to an inch, so these knit up quickly. I'll get the other done soon!
