This pattern is for a pair of fair-isle gloves knit in the round. I’ve used 5 shades of Jamieson & Smith 2 ply jumper weight (4 ply fingering weight equivalent). The cuff is knitted on 2.5mm/US 1.5 needles and is embellished with an Estonian braid described in the instructions. The hands are knit using 3.5mm/US4 needles. Both hands and sets of fingers are charted separately as the are mirrored. You will need 2 balls each of Charcoal and White but as the cuff only takes a few grams of each colour its great for using up scraps. They are 25cm/9.75” long with a hand circumference of 22cm/8.5”.
