These gloves fit snugly for an adult, with about an 8” circumference about the hand. This is an ALTERED pattern. The original pattern is all one worsted-weight yarn from Lion Brand (also free); this pattern is to use a different, chunky/variegated yarn as an accent for the cuffs and to add accent stripes. I used Caron Simply Soft and a handspun chunky alpaca yarn--any worsted weight and chunky/varied-thickness yarn will work.
