Aslaug Fingerless Gloves

Introducing the Aslaug Fingerless Gloves, an exquisite knitting pattern that beautifully showcases intricate design elements inspired by Norse mythology. Featuring a stunning braided cable that evokes the essence of ancient Norse runes, these gloves are framed by reverse stockinette and ribbed palms for both style and comfort. The name "Aslaug" is derived from the legendary Saga of the Volsungs, an iconic Icelandic tale, making this pattern not only a creative project but also a nod to rich cultural history. Pair it with its matching accessories—Sigurd and Brynhild, the coordinating hat and cowl—for a stylish winter ensemble.

**Finished Size:** The Aslaug Fingerless Gloves measure 5 inches in the cuff and hand when unstretched, and can stretch up to 8 inches, ensuring a comfortable fit for various hand sizes.

**Yarn Recommendations:** For an optimal knitting experience, use Dragonfly Fibers Valkyrie yarn, which is made of 100% Superwash merino. Each skein offers a generous 200 yards per 4 ounces. The sample shown was knit in the beautiful Nymeria colorway, requiring approximately 140 yards to complete.

**Needle Information:** To create your Aslaug Fingerless Gloves, you will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or your preferred method for knitting in the round. We recommend using size 6 US (4.0 mm) needles or a size that will help you achieve the desired gauge.

**Gauge Details:** The pattern achieves a gauge of 19 stitches and 26 rows in a blocked 4-inch square of stockinette when knitted in the round. This gauge will ensure your finished gloves are both snug and accurate to the design.
