Halekoa gauntlets feature a Norwegian “mothjartrosa” (literally against-heart-rose) that reminds me of anthurium and ferns. Knitted in a bold primary colour on a white background, its symmetry calls to mind traditional Hawaiian quilts.

The yardage breakdown is as follows:
85 m / 93 yards in main colour
55 m / 60 yards in contrast colour

ERRATA: If you downloaded this pattern before 4 February, then the legend for the chart needs correcting: the MC should be red and the CC should be white. Sorry!
