Frontenac

Introducing the Frontenac County Gloves, beautifully designed for the harsh cold of Canadian winters. Named after Frontenac County in Eastern Ontario, these gloves are an essential accessory for anyone looking to combine style with ultimate warmth. Crafted with care, these gloves are knit using a smaller needle size than typically used for worsted weight yarn, resulting in a dense, wind-blocking fabric that will keep your fingers cozy and warm even in the chilliest of temperatures.

There’s something incredibly satisfying about creating a perfectly-fitted pair of gloves. This pattern includes three sizes to accommodate various palm circumferences, ranging from 7 to 9¼ inches, ensuring a snug fit for everyone. The design features two stunning cable patterns, which are detailed in both written instructions and chart form, making it accessible for knitters of all experience levels.

Sizes: Small (Medium, Large)

Finished Measurements: Palm circumference: 7 (8¼, 9¼) inches

Yarn: Worsted weight yarn: 175 (220, 270) yards. For the sample, the Size Medium is shown in Sweet Paprika Andante (100% superwash merino wool; 110g/195 yards), requiring 1 (2, 2) skeins in Graphite.

Needles: A set of size 5 (3.75mm) double-pointed needles (dpns) is recommended for optimal results.

Notions: Cable needle, stitch markers, stitch holders or waste yarn, yarn needle, and a locking stitch marker or safety pin (optional) are also needed to make this project as seamless as possible.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 22 stitches and 32 rounds = 4" in stockinette stitch (St st), worked in the round. For the Wave Cable pattern, 24 stitches and 32 rounds = 4".

Perfect for both experienced and beginner knitters, the Frontenac County Gloves will not only keep your hands warm but also elevate your winter wardrobe. Dive into this delightful knitting project and experience the joy of crafting a beautifully detailed cable glove that is as functional as it is stylish. Whether you’re preparing to face a frosty day or making a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this pattern is sure to impress.
