These gloves are part of a matching set that also includes a headband and cowl with buttons. You can buy each separately, but there is an automatic 33% discount when you add all three of them to your cart.

The instructions below are given for gloves that can fit a mid-sized adult’s hand (approximately 18–22 cm / 7.1–8.6 inches wide). To know your size, measure your dominant hand just under the knuckles (as shown in the photo)

All my patterns are using Calibri font size 13 in black on white, so they are accessible and easy to read on different screens and when printed. All abbreviations and acronyms are explained in the pattern.

The nature of the pattern makes it stretch a little, which is why it can fit a range of hands. It can be adapted for different sizes (including for children) by adding or removing stitches in the basic rib stitch pattern that goes on the palm side of the hand.

You will get a PDF document that includes:

  • Written instructions in English, using US, UK and metric measurements and needle sizes
  • Chart for each glove (you can use the written instructions without the chart; this is just here in case you prefer charts)
  • Detailed instructions for how to work each cable

Skills required: knit, purl. The gloves are worked flat and seamed at the edges to create a tube with a thumbhole.

You will need:

  • Knitting needles of 4mm / 8 UK / 6 US (or size suitable to the yarn that you use)
  • Cable needle one size smaller than the knitting needles.
  • Tapestry needle.
  • 140 metres (155 yards) of yarn for a medium-sized pair of gloves. I recommend Merino because it is a little elastic.

Enjoy!
