These colourwork gloves were designed for use in the outdoors on those days where mitts are just a bit too warm. The design incorporates just a bit of lace at the cuff and vikkel braids for interest, making this a quick, fun project for the advanced beginner/intermediate knitter who is looking to expand on their colourwork skills.

Available in Ladies’ sizes Small, Medium and Large: for hands measuring 6”, 6.5”, and 7.5” (15cm, 17cm and19 cm) around the widest part of the palm.

Knit at a gauge of 9 st/inch/2.5cm, you will need approx. 60g of a Main Colour (solid or semi-solid) and 30 g of highly Contrasting Colour (variegated yarns could work as well).
