Wintery gloves
Welcome to our knitting pattern for stunning gloves worked entirely in the round, starting from the cuff all the way to the fingers! This comprehensive pattern not only features a detailed written description but also includes easy-to-follow charts and a helpful video tutorial. You'll find recommendations for washing and blocking your finished product to achieve a professional look.
Gauge: To ensure the perfect fit, aim for a gauge of 34 stitches and 28 rows to measure 4 inches (10 cm) in colorwork stitch when worked in the round (after blocking), using US size 2.5 (3.00 mm) needles.
Yarn: For this project, we suggest using Knoll Super Soft Nm11.5/2, a luxurious 100% wool yarn. You'll need approximately 315 yards (288 meters) per 50 grams. To knit one pair of gloves, gather around 50 grams of yarn overall: 30 to 40 grams for the main color and approximately 10 to 20 grams for the contrasting color. This gives you the flexibility to explore creative color combinations!
Notions: Ensure you have the necessary tools before starting your gloves. You'll need circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPN) in US size 1.5 (2.50 mm) and US size 2.5 (3.00 mm), along with essential items such as scissors, stitch markers, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.
