Palm Circumference 8 inches (20.5 cm.). Size can be varied by changing the gauge at which the gloves are knitted.

These fingerless gloves are knit using traditional Shetland knitting techniques. These gloves use eight colors of Shetland wool. One skein of the main color and small amounts of the seven pattern colors are needed. Yardage is not specified for the accent colors.
