I wanted to design a quick to knit pattern for full finger gloves. Using Aran weight pure wool yarn and slightly smaller needles than recommended, these gloves are warm and wind proof. I used 2 x 50g pure Wensleydale wool in the main colour and about 10g of contrast colour to suggest the frosty finger tips.
They are knitted in the round with textural interest created by the basket weave pattern on the back of each hand. These took 3 evenings to knit.
