For your project, we recommend using Neighborhood Fiber Co. Studio Sock yarn, made from 100% Superwash Merino. This soft and durable yarn comes in a generous 400 yards per 114g skein. For the sample project, the yarn in the colorway Olde Towne East was used, requiring 135 yards to complete the gloves. The combination of this luxurious yarn and the intricate cable design makes the Garden District gloves a delightful project for any knitter.
To create these gloves, you will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or 16” circular needles in size 3 US (3.25 mm) or adjust your needle size to achieve the correct gauge. The gauge for this pattern is 24 stitches and 32 rows per 4” in blocked stockinette, knit in the round. Achieving the correct gauge is essential to ensure the perfect fit and overall look of your finished gloves.
