I originally wrote my Photography Gloves knitting pattern when I was creating a gift for my Dad. He joked that he needed a pair of gloves with a tip of one of the index fingers missing so he could take photos in the cold. I realised I needed the same thing – because I kept having to answer phone-calls with my nose! Playing with this idea I decided to also leave off the tip of the thumb, for Dad to use the functions on the back of
his camera and for me to have further controls on my smartphone.
Whether you decide to complete all the fingers or make these into fingerless gloves, the pattern is designed to fit a range of sizes, with a different thumb gusset for each left and right glove.

Two photos of a red pair of gloves, modelled on a man's hands, are divided by the works "Dad's Photography Gloves Knitting Pattern". The top image is of the hands crossed on the man's lap, and in the bottom image he is holding a camera. The tip of the thumb and right forefinger are missing from the gloves to allow use of the camera.
