This glove pattern is designed as a companion pattern to the Sea Urchin hat. They have both been a joy to design and make.

There is a step by step photo tutorial on how to knit a thumb included in this pattern.

Yarn: 1 x 25g of each of the following Jamieson’s of Shetland, Spindrift. 100% Pure Shetland Wool
Colours: Dewdrop, Moorgrass, Nighthawk for the background and Havana, Maroon, Peony, Purple Heather, Gold.

The pattern is knitted in the round with a chart of 53 stitches wide and 29 rows. The chart is placed in such a way that a central pattern of a Traditional Shetland Star sits on the back of your hand and the join of each round falls in the middle of the palm. I have done this purposely so that the small step in pattern at the join point of each round is not on the side of the hand, where it would be noticeable, but in the palm. The pattern joins in the centre of the palm at the tree branches.

They’re so much fun that you’ll not be able to put them down both whilst making them and wearing them when they’re part of your Autumn Wardrobe.
