Materials:
1 skein Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran (I used the entire skein, 98 yds or so, so be careful to compare yardage if substituting)
55% Merino wool, 33% Microfibre, 12% Cashmere
98 yards/90m per 50g
Size 7 US dpns (set of 4)
Gauge:
18 sts = 4 inches
Stitch Guide:
C6F Slip 3 sts to cable needle, hold in front of work. Knit next 3 sts, then knit 3 sts from cable needle. Makes a left twist.
C6B Slip 3 sts to cable needle, hold in back of work. Knit next 3 sts, then knit 3 sts from cable needle. Makes a right twist.
Left Gauntlet.
Cast on 35 stitches, distributing as follows:
N1: 10
N2: 13
N3: 12
Ribbing: work six rows as follows:
N1 – k2, p2, k2, p2, k2
N2 – p2, k3, p3, k3, p2
N3 – k2, p2, k2, p2, k2, p2
*Begin cable pattern.
Needles 1 and 3 are to be knit throughout.
Needle 2 is as follows:
Row 1 – p2, k9, p2
Row 2 – p2, k9, p2
Row 3 – p2, c6f, k3, p2
Row 4 – p2, k9, p2
Row 5 – p2, k9, p2
Row 6 – p2, k3, c6b, p2
Repeat from * 3 more times (or more if you like longer gauntlets). End with row 6 of cable pattern.
Begin gussett:
Needles 2 & 3 will be worked in the same manner as the cable section.
Needle one will be worked as follows:
K5, m1, k5
Knit
K5, m1, k1, m1, k5
Knit
K5, m1, k3, m1, k5
Knit
K5, m1, k5, m1, k5
Knit
K5, m1, k7, m1, k5
Knit
K5, m1, k9, m1, k5
Knit
K5, m1, k11, m1, k5
Knit
Slip the 13 “new” stitches onto a spare piece of yarn. This will later be the thumb.
Knit the rest of the live stitches for 1 round, again working cable pattern for needle 2.
Work 2 more rows following cable pattern. You should end with the last row as a “row 6”.
Repeat section one.
Bind off loosely in pattern.
Thumb:
Place stitches on needles and remove waste yarn. You’ll be picking up 3 new stitches where the thumb meets the hand portion. Knit 1 round, then do 6 rounds of k2 p2 rib.
BO loosely.
Right Gauntlet:
Is basically the same as left gauntlet, except you’ll distribute the stitches as follows:
N1: 12
N2: 13
N3: 10
Follow as for Left Gauntlet, switching directions for N1 and N3. You'll have to reverse the ribbing on needle one as well, working it as p2, k2, p2, k2, p2, k2. You also may want to switch rows 3 and 6 of the cable pattern so the cables will start/finish the opposite way from the left gauntlet.
