Magnetospheric Gloves

Discover the art of knitting with our captivating glove pattern, masterfully worked cuff-up in the round. These delightful gloves feature an eye-catching band of stranded colorwork that beautifully contrasts against a darker background, allowing your creativity to shine through. The thumb is ingeniously crafted using a technique commonly known as the 'peasant' or 'afterthought' thumb. In this method, stitches for the thumb are initially worked using waste yarn, enabling you to return later and knit the thumb in the same intricate pattern. Once you're finished, simply remove the waste yarn to reveal live stitches above and below the gap, which you’ll use to create the thumb effortlessly.

This pattern was originally published in Issue 67 of Knit Now, but don’t worry if you can't find the original yarn! Although the original yarn has been discontinued, we recommend using Plymouth Yarn Alpaca Prima as a close substitute for a quality finish. This knitting project is perfect for knitters who want to enhance their skills while creating stunning and functional accessories. Get started today and make a beautiful pair of gloves that will keep your hands warm and stylish!
