DIY: Hermione's Striped Fingerless Gloves

Hi, everyone! Ever since I saw "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" I've been wanting to make a pair of fingerless gloves like the ones Hermione Granger wears throughout the movie.

 

You can see this pic full size here to really see the details of the mitts: http://gallery.the-leaky-cauldron.org/picture/267221

I found some knitting patterns for various versions of the gloves, but I really didn't want to knit the stripes or weave in all those stray ends. So I found some gorgeous self-striping wool yarn in similar colors to hers, and just knit a plain fingerless mitt with rolled edges. I modified this pattern by Knitty Knotty.

 Perfect for reading on a cozy winter evening.

 I couldn't find my copy of "The Deathly Hallows" so "The Half-Blood Prince" will have to do!

  

You can really tell how slouchy and baggy they are here: http://gallery.the-leaky-cauldron.org/picture/268828

Have you made anything yourself lately? Any patterns or tutorials you've found on the web that you'd like to share??
