Using only the classic stocking stitch and a cozy 2x2 rib, these gloves knit up quickly in delightful double knitting (DK) weight yarn. The thoughtful arched gusset and ribbed thumb not only enhance the fit but also add an appealing touch of interest for both the knitter and the wearer, making this pattern perfect for gift-giving or personal use.

Large - to fit hand circumference of 22-24 cm (approximately 8.5-9.5 inches)

Hand measurements should be taken around the widest part of the hand, just above the thumb for the best fit.

Yarn Requirements:

For knitting these fantastic gloves, you will need approximately 190 (210, 230) meters / 210 (230, 250) yards of double knitting yarn. Choose your favorite DK yarn for a luxurious feel and a beautiful finish.

Additional Supplies:

To complete your Clive gloves, gather the following supplies:

• 3¼mm (UK10, US3) double-pointed needles (dpns), set of four

Note: If you prefer a seamless finish, you can work the cuff and hand of the gloves using circular needles and the magic loop method. However, keep in mind that dpns will be necessary for knitting the fingers and thumbs due to the small stitch count.

You’ll also need:

• 3 stitch markers in 2 different colours to help keep track of your rounds
• Waste yarn for provisional cast-ons or holding stitches
• A tapestry needle for weaving in ends and finishing your gloves

• Knit and purl stitches
