City Mouse / Country Mouse Gloves

This pattern includes instructions for two variations of a glove. Both begin with a garter stitch band in a contrasting yarn color, which closes with a button. Both continue in the main color for the hand and the thumb gusset. But where the Country Mouse glove continues into fingers in the main color, the City Mouse glove is bound off with a few rows of garter stitch in the contrast color, echoing the wrist band.

The City Mouse glove is a fairly straightforward project, suitable for a beginner who has mastered that stockinette scarf and is ready for something with a bit of shaping or as television knitting for a more advanced knitter. The Country Mouse version is a bit more complicated: It involves picking up stitches and a kitchener bind off and is better suited to intermediate knitters.
