The Gladiator
Update: The popular 2014 Men In Knitwear Calendar Club patterns are now available for individual sale!
Introducing Mr. February's stunning pattern, inspired by the iconic film Gladiator. Whether you're headed out on a chilly adventure or just looking to stay cozy at home, these Gladiator gloves will keep your hands warm during every conquest. Designed with a firm knit, these gloves are crafted to provide both comfort and durability, perfect for those who lead an active lifestyle.
The Gladiator gloves are uniquely constructed, worked flat and sewn up at the sides, with the thumb expertly picked up and finished in the round using double-pointed needles (dpns). This thoughtful design ensures a snug fit while allowing for easy mobility—ideal for any daunting task or everyday errands. The pattern is written in one size to fit most adult hands, but don't worry; we’ve included instructions for a simple adaptation to accommodate unusually small or large hands.
These versatile gloves can be knitted using just 1 skein of Cascade 220 yarn, making them an excellent option for utilizing that extra skein sitting in your stash. They also make a fantastic handmade gift for friends and family, showcasing your knitting skills while providing warmth and style.
The knitting journey begins with creating the wristband, worked from side to side. After that, the hand stitches are picked up from the edge of the wristband, allowing the hand to be knitted upwards seamlessly. Once completed, the hand band is elegantly joined to provide a polished finish. With their modern, gladiatorial flair and functional design, these gloves will be a hit for any knitter looking to impress!
Get ready to embark on your knitting adventure with the Gladiator gloves pattern and add a unique piece to your collection. Whether for yourself or as a gift, these gloves are sure to be a favorite for years to come!
