Mens gauntlets knitted in stockinette stitch with checkered pattern. I made these gauntlets to match the Check Mate Hat. The gauntlets can be worn on bare skin or as an extra layer on leather gloves on cold days. If you want to wear these gauntlets on top of leather gloves, please keep in mind that you’ll need a larger size. The gauntlets have a separate hole for the thumb and one hole for the other 4 fingers. The pattern comes in 3 sizes: small, medium and large. The photos show size medium.
