Notes

Started with 60 st on DPN as per Drops 114-25 gloves with cables instruction, but with two threads (Alpaca + Lace).

  • The first part is a 4 cm (60 st) braided cuff from Topp der geniale Handschuh Workshop. and reduced to 54 st right after.
  • The body and pattern were followed as in Drops 117-10 Maritza Gloves over 20 st on needle #1 and #2: 3 st in stockinette - pattern (20 st) - 3 st in stockinette; remaining st for palm were done in st st.
  • Thumbs + fingers similarily in st st as in Drops 114-25 gloves with cables.

These patterns were kind of freestyled through. So, I can only assume the gauge was somehow near the one in Drops 114-25 gloves with cables. The finished gloves however fit a size S just fine.
With Drops patterns I usually have to go up 1 or 0.5 (mm) needle sizes to match their gauge.

The two used yarns add up to a very lively shade of red with orange and blue undertones. Drops lace improved the durability with their 30 % silk content.
