Knitting Pattern Digital Download: Magnetospheric Gloves
Inspired by the Northern Lights, Magnetospheric Gloves are worked cuff up in the round, and feature a band of stranded colourwork that glows against the darker background. The thumb is set aside using a technique often referred to as a 'peasant' or 'afterthought' thumb, where the stitches for the thumb are worked in waste yarn, then worked again in pattern. The waste yarn is later picked out leaving live stitches above and below the gap with which to work the thumb.
