Porteau

The Porteau Gloves are a beautifully crafted knitting project designed to be worked in the round, starting from the wrist and extending to the fingers. Featuring a generous ribbed cuff and an elegant mountain-meets-ocean inspired pattern on the tops, these gloves offer both style and functionality. Ideal for chilly days spent by the water, camping adventures, hiking excursions, or cozy nights by the fire, the Porteau Gloves are a must-have accessory for your cold-weather wardrobe.

Needles and Notions: To create these stunning gloves, you will need US4 (3.5 mm) and US6 (4 mm) double-pointed needles or a long circular needle for the magic loop technique. Be sure to have a cable needle and stitch markers handy to assist you throughout the project.

Yarn and Yardage: This pattern uses Sweet Fiber Merino Twist DK, a luxurious yarn made of 100% Superwash Merino Wool. Each skein weighs 115 g (4 oz) and contains 260 yds (238 m) of soft, warm fiber, perfect for keeping your hands toasty. You'll need approximately 40 g (90 yds), 50 g (115 yds), or 65 g (145 yds) of the Woodsmoke colorway, depending on the size you choose.

Gauge: Achieve a precise gauge of 24 stitches and 33 rounds to measure 4” in Stockinette stitch using the larger needles. This ensures that your gloves will fit perfectly and provide the intended warmth and comfort.

Sizes: The finished Porteau Gloves are designed to accommodate a palm circumference of 6” (15 cm), 7” (18 cm), or 8” (20 cm). These sizes allow for a comfortably snug fit with 0.5 - 1” (1.5 - 2.5 cm) of negative ease, ensuring your gloves stay secure while allowing for a full range of motion.

Experience the joy of knitting with the Porteau Gloves pattern and create your perfect companion for outdoor adventures or relaxing by the fireplace.
