Chevron Gauntlets
Textures and visual flow are always important factors in GoodforaBoy designs. I am often first inspired by the visual appeal of a stitch pattern, and then design a piece fitting that aesthetic feeling. Something quite intuitive must be translated into a workable appealing pattern. In these gauntlets, active ziggurat chevrons on the hands are vibrant set against the sleek linearity of the elongated wrist, making this a great unisex piece.
SKILL LEVEL
Intermediate
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Instructions are written for two wrist sizes 6” and 7”.
(Though, it is likely that the larger size will stretch to at least 8”)
YARN
1 skein of Soft Linen or Silk Blend
NEEDLES
Knitting needles in size US 2 and 4 (for 6”), or US sizes 3 and 4 (for 7”), or size to obtain gauge.
GAUGE
Using larger needle: 23.5 sts and 38.5 rows = 4” over Chevron Rib pattern
OR 24 sts and 34 rows = 4” over stockinette st. (Stockinette is not used in this gauntlet, but if you meet the stockinette st gauge, you are likely to meet the chevron rib gauge. )
