Pattern includes instructions for 4 sizes as follows:

Child size up to age 6 (approx. 6”), Child age 7+/Ladies’ Small (approx. 7”), Ladies M/L (approx. 8”) and Ladies XL/Men’s (approx. 9.5”)

The pattern is easily adapted to appeal to men by substituting your favorite ribbing for the decorative cuff.

Front and palm patterns are different, you will know where you are at all times! The charts are not difficult to work at all. The front is symmetrical, you will have groups of 2’s and 4’s. Not nearly as complicated as it looks!

You need only 1 ball of Main Color and 1 of Contrast Color in whichever weight yarn you choose.

I show a variety of decreasing options and color combinations. It is an unusual design featuring an unusual fiber yielding a soft yet durable, wonderfully lustrous fabric.

Wensleydale Longwool is distributed in the United States exclusively through Flying Fibers yarn shop in Landisville, PA - Fantastic people and lovely yarn to be sure!
