Either you love them or you hate them. I am obsessed. They are either super trendy or they will last my entire lifetime. I can’t really tell. But someone once told me that this pattern was specifically made for men back in the day to pull the trigger for guns so I think that’s weirdly cool. Just like how I think about these gloves. This piece is worked from cuff to finger, separating for the thumb and index.

YARN:

Fingering weight: 100 g Kensington Prairie Sock Yarn (100g = 350m/382yd)

(Honestly from how it knits it’s more like light fingering/lace).

GAUGE:

16 sts x 20 rows = 5 x 5 cm in 2 x 2 stockinette stitch on 2.5 mm before blocking

Don’t try to knit a 10 x 10 cm swatch, its too much !
