First attempt at doing separate finger holes, not 100% happy with the result, but it will do (lemmy.world)

Not to dwell on the negative, but what are you unhappy about? They look totally fine, if perhaps a little chunky! Hopefully they’re comfy.

Mostly the chunkiness, should have used a thinner yarn. And I was left with some holes I had to sew closed at the beginning of each finger

@Ramenator I think sewing is the best way to get a neat finish in many cases

I agree with Venite. There are often holes in places where multiple seams would meet in a sewn garment. I mostly knit sweaters and I pretty much always take some time tightening things up around the armpits, with very rare exception when it’s a particularly good pattern. Just is what it is! If it’s inside, it doesn’t even have to be neat because no one will see it, so just sew up what you need to tighten.
