Throw Down

When it’s getting chilly, but you’re not quite ready to pull out the gloves, or if you just need add a little extra warmth or colour your outfit (or over your gloves) – throw it down and pick up these gauntlets.

The hand can be folded down to expose your fingers or worn long to cover all but the tips.

While Throw Down was designed to take full advantage of the long gradient colourways that are popular right now, they look equally good in a semi-solid, or any other sock yarn in your stash.

Gobstoppers Sockstoppers are ideal for these as they consist of two matched 50g cakes of gradient colours.

A photo tutorial on how to do the thumbhole is included at the end of the pattern.

Skills needed:
knit, purl, increase, decrease, work in the round, work flat, divide sts as if to work a cable, tubular cast on (or other stretchy cast on method), tubular cast off (or other stretchy cast off method)
