Crimson Maples

These gloves are designed in the Fair Isle tradition. The gloves are knitted in the round, beginning with the shaded corrugated ribbing. The glove hand includes a thumb gusset, different motifs, and lines from the ribbing which continue into the hand to designate the top of the hand from the palm, while obscuring the jog at the beginning of the round. Each finger is worked with the Main Color (MC) yarn and one of the Contrast Color (CC)

yarns. I made these gloves with Jameson and Smith’s 2-ply jumper weight yarn using one yarn for the main color, and 7 contrasting colors. You only deal with two yarns at a time. There are charts as well as text directions. The gauge in stranded St st is 32 sts & 32 rnds = 4"/10 cm.
