Aurvandil
Aurvandil gauntlets are a quick stashbuster knit. They feature Norwegian stars and diamonds and are finished with a picot edge.
The yardage breakdown is as follows:
75 m / 82 yards in main colour
45 m / 50 yards in contrast colour 1
35 m / 38 yards in contrast colour 2
To knit the background in a single colour requires 110 m / 120 yards of the main colour.
The pattern is charted and assumes that you have experience with stranded colourwork, knitting in the round, and reading charts.
ERRATUM: On Round 15 of Chart 1A, the second stitch from the left should be worked in CC. Thanks to Julia (sonnenblumenimp) for catching this!

The Old Norse “Aurvandil” (Old English: Éarendel, and yes, it inspired Tolkien) is an enigmatic reference to a star, which has been suggested to be Venus, Sirius, Rigel, or Polaris.
This pattern is part of my collection Among the Æsir, a series of accessories named for Norse gods and their world.
