Dear lover of Yarn Stories and of the tactile art of knitting,

This glove pattern has been designed to match my Smola scarf pattern. Both are knitted using Moorgrass, Dewdrop, Egg Shell and Maroon, colours which are the colours of the gate and the paintwork of the tiny house, which I am trying to buy in Levenwick.

Both the gloves and scarf are designed using traditional Shetland dice patterns and the colours of the are a nod to the colours of the gate and the paintwork at the little house in Levenwick, Shetland, mentioned above.

You can make a Long fingerless pair of gloves, or you can make an easier shorter pair of mitts by starting at a different place in the chart. You can knit these gloves with a moss stitch rib or 1 x 1 rib. for the finger opening. You’ll not be able to put them down both whilst making and when made.

THERE IS A PHOTO TUTORIAL ON HOW TO KNIT YOUR THUMBS INCLUDED IN THIS PATTERN.

Yarn: 1 x 25g of each of the following 9 Jamieson’s of Shetland, Spindrift. 100% Pure Shetland Wool

Colours: 720 Dewdrop, 768 Eggshell, 595 Maroon, 248 Havana, 563 Rouge, 286 Moorgrass, 165 Dusk
