Welcome to Divination Class. Today we will be practicing tasseomancy; the art of reading tea leaves. Grab your favorite teacup and some loose-leaf tea. Oh wait, we are going to need some super slouchy nice and comfy fingerless gloves first. Best get the yarn and needles asap so we can get to reading the leaves!

Owl Experience Level: beginner

Sizes: S/M and L/XL

Finished blocked measurements flat: 4.25 (5) inches wide at forearm, 3 (3.75) inches wide at wrist, 3.5 (4.25) inches wide at knuckles x 16” long. These gloves have quite a bit of negative ease, which means they stretch!

Yarns used: light fingering/lace weight yarn such as:
MC: Lotus Yarns, Tibetan Cloud Fingering, 50 g - 490 yds - 450 m, 100% Yak, color: 01 Navaho, 1 skein.

Tension/gauge:
Work 32 sts to measure 4” in stockinette stitch using
US 1 or 2.25 mm needles with MC. Row gauge won’t matter, but please use the needle size you need to get stitch gauge. If you knit tightly you might want to try going up a needle size to get gauge.
Notions:
A pair of US 1 (2.25mm) straight needles, tapestry needle, safety pin or lock stitch markers.
Remember needle sizes are just suggestions, always use the needles you personally need to obtain gauge.
