Notes

I originally made these a year ago for my boyfriend, but never finished weaving in the edges because he found them to be a little constricting around the thumbs (due to carrying the yarns of four colors). So finally I remade them without the red, and only kept the wrists from the original gloves. Much nicer fit now!

Photographed at a glacier in Denali National Park, Alaska, which we flew over and landed into on the most spectacular trip of my life.


In order to size this up for a man without gaping holes, I held everything double and used needles as if it was DK.

However, ladders are unavoidable in the ribbed section because you can’t pull the LOFT tight without it snapping…beware :/
