**Knitted DK Weight Alpaca Gloves Pattern - Free and Easy-to-Follow** Are you looking for a cozy and stylish pair of gloves that will keep your hands warm while showcasing your knitting skills? Look no further! This pattern for knitted gloves uses DK weight alpaca yarn and is perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters alike. To create these lovely gloves, you will need a total of under 200 yards of DK weight alpaca yarn from your stash. We recommend having around 100 yards of each color or a little more, depending on the size you choose. If you want to make a larger pair, you'll need additional yarn to accommodate the increased dimensions. Currently, we offer the pattern for a small size, specifically a 7.25" palm. However, we've included helpful notes on how to upsize the pattern, so if you have experience with glove construction, adapting it to your needs will be a breeze. For those looking for a longer palm length, simply add extra rows between the decorative pattern bands! This pattern is inspired by a traditional graph found in an old magazine, originally intended for a sweater. We’ve taken that classic design and adapted it for gloves, making it perfect for the unique handspun alpaca yarn you may have in natural shades. This project not only helps you create a functional item but also gives a nod to nostalgia by reviving vintage motifs. As this is my first time writing up a knitting pattern, I appreciate your patience and am eager to receive any questions or comments you might have. Your feedback is invaluable, and I’m more than happy to support you throughout the crafting process. Get ready to embark on a delightful knitting journey with this free pattern for DK weight alpaca gloves, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something beautiful, warm, and unique. Happy knitting! **Keywords:** knitted gloves pattern, DK weight alpaca yarn, free knitting patterns, easy gloves pattern, upsizing knitting pattern, handspun alpaca projects.
