Refined gloves inspired by the warm colors and patterns of the American Southwest.

Materials
Suripaco Springvale (55% alpaca, 30% wool, 15% silk; 208 yards/49g) 1 skein each “Natural,” (MC) “Cranberry,” (CC1) and “Camel” (CC2)

Note: very little of the two contract colors is used. With the three skeins listed above, I was able to make three pairs of gloves, each in a different MC.

32 stitches & 40 rows = 4” in rib pattern, slightly stretched, using smaller needles

Finished Size
7” hand circumference, 9.25” long from cast-on edge to fingertips
