DESCRIPTION
The Gridlock Gloves bring the same bold, architectural texture of the Gridlock Jumper into a smaller, practical project. Perfect for when you want a fast make with plenty of visual impact, these fingerless mittens balance structure and comfort beautifully.

The interlocking grid pattern creates a refined, modern look, while the reversible fabric offers two distinct textures. They’re warm enough for chilly mornings yet leave your fingers free for everyday tasks—whether you’re crafting, commuting, or sipping a coffee on the go. They’re quick to make, endlessly giftable, and a perfect way to experiment with color combinations before tackling the Gridlock Jumper.
