Grandfather Clock

These incredibly basic gloves are the perfect knitting project for beginners who have never attempted gloves before. With their simple yet stylish design, they are equally appreciated by men who prefer a no-fuss option for keeping their hands warm. This versatile glove pattern makes for a fantastic first project or a quick gift for family and friends.

Construction Notes
The gloves feature a slipped stitch ribbing in the cuffs, ensuring a snug fit that keeps the chill out while providing just a bit of extra warmth. This unique ribbing technique will not only enhance the overall comfort but will also effectively break up a more playful colorway, artfully blending the colors together for a striking visual effect.
