Arrow Gloves

A distinct arrow pattern elevates these gloves from simple to stunning! Use a solid color for a more subtle effect, or go for the wow factor with a hand painted yarn such as Stroll Hand Painted Sock Yarn.

You can knit gloves for the whole family with sizes ranging from children to XL adult.

Substitution Notes
Choose a fingering weight or sock yarn with some wool content for warmth. Look for a striping or variegated colourway that will show the movement of the chevron pattern. Alternatively, a solid-coloured yarn with a tight twist will show the stitch definition and allow the stitch pattern to shine.

Techniques
Knitting in the round, increases/decreases, backward loop cast on, picking up stitches.
