Notes

Really enjoyed making this project!
The pattern is well written and very easy to follow. The construction of the thumb gusset is unusual but easy to do and the fit is perfect. The only change was to use US#1 dpn’s after the first knuckle on each finger and thumb and I left out the cc “ring” on the finger.

My gauge was 34S/1” after blocking. Overall length 14”, width across knuckles 3 1/2”.

Wasn’t sure about using Stroll after reading comments about splitting but it worked really well for me and I’ll use it again. Only a rough guess at the yardage used.

I’ve debated making whether to make the Blue Hands or the Bobbie gloves for a while. When I saw Laris (Julia Mueller) was running a buy 2 get 3 glove pattern sale I decided to get both along with Chimera.
