**Materials Needed:**
- Double pointed needles, size 2.5 mm / US 1.5 / UK 12
- 2 balls of Ulysse De Rerum Natura sport yarn, 12 wpi, in two contrasting colors (I used caramel and cyprès for a delightful combination)
**Notions Required:**
- Stitch holder (or extra yarn)
- Wool needle
- 3 stitch markers (1 to mark the beginning of the round, and 2 for the thumb area)
Gauge: To achieve the best results, aim for a 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) square using 2.5 mm / US 1.5 / UK 12 needles in stockinette stitch, resulting in 24 stitches and 38 rows. This gauge is crucial for ensuring that your gloves fit perfectly and offer the right level of warmth and comfort.
**What You Need to Know:** This pattern requires knowledge of knitting in the round, along with basic skills to increase and decrease stitches. These techniques will help give your gloves a tailored fit while enhancing your knitting prowess.
