Pattern Notes
This pattern is intended to be inspired by your stash. The yarn requirements for each colour are quite low, which makes it an ideal project to use up those special pieces of leftover fibre from other projects. Two variations are presented in this pattern, and you are encouraged to change the flora shape – what other flora can be made? What about the sky – are there embellishments, such as birds, stars, or other features that you can add? This pattern is definitely a blank canvas for our creativity!
Even if colourwork is new for you, give this project a try. These gauntlets are a small project, and will provide a gentle introduction to colourwork. Be sure to let the floats travel loosely (yet evenly) behind your stitches so that your stitches lay flat.
