INSPIRATION

“Run, baby, run
Forever we’ll be
You and me”

~ “Check Yes Juliet” by We the Kings

I have had this song stuck in my head lately, so when I was trying to come up with a name for this design, the checkerboard pattern brought a spark of inspiration! I love a fun, simple texture and clean icord edges, and this pattern brings it all. Each glove is knit flat and seamed for easy assembly, and the gloves for each hand are identical. Would make a great gift for yourself or someone you love!

MATERIALS

• Approximately 92 yds of a DK weight yarn. I used one ball of Knit Picks Swish DK in “Crush”.

• US size 6 (4mm) knitting needles - either straight or circular

• Stitch marker to designate RS (optional)

• Scissors and tapestry needle

MEASUREMENTS

Approx 6.25” tall and 7” in circumference

GAUGE

15 sts x 19 rows = 2.5”
