Okay, so admittedly they have cuffs, but silly short ones: I made them to go with hoodies and cardigans that have snug-fitting cuffs and get into weird battles with the rest of my hand-warming knits.
I made these in Madeline Tosh Vintage (Popoki? we're not 100% sure of the colorway -- my teenager let me steal some of this from a big gift shipment a friend sent from her stash). Working with the short color changes and observing surprising color combinations as rounds came together on the needles was just delightful. Now I have to remember I have these once it's chilly again. I have a tendency to forget about the cozy things I make and tuck away in the spring and early summer. Maybe these are so bright I won't be able to lose them! Pretty much straight-up Victoria Anne Baker's Treads pattern, except I needed to use one size smaller DPNs and leave out a few rows in the second panel of linen ridge. I love the lateral braid technique, a new one for me.
