I am getting ready to start my first fingerless gloves. I have 2 patterns that I have found. One is knit in the round with dpn's. The other is knit on 2 straight needles. Has anyone made gloves with the 2 straight needles? And how did they turn out. I am a beginner/intermediate knitter and the thought of making those little itty bitty fingers on dpn's is a bit daunting.

I preffer the Seamless gloves saves sewing sits much better on the hand , and after you get used to knitting on DP , you might do them both on 2 circulars , mirjam
I agree with Mirjam, the DPs get easier with practice. I used 2 needles many years ago and they turned out fine. Please try both ways. On 2 straight needles if you use the blind seam they will look great and feel fine.
