Outlander Craft: Claire's Gauntlets Part 1

Hello everyone! Today, I have for you a pattern to make a pair of gauntlets similar to the ones Claire wore in the Outlander episodes

Items you'll need: 

•Lion Brand Yarns Homespun in the shade Shaker.

•Size 9/5mm knitting needles.

• A large-eye blunt needle.

I found this on LionBrand.com (search for "Free Knitting Pattern Simple Gauntlets"). Here they suggested a purplish colored yarn, but I followed the yarn weight category (5 being Bulky Weight) and just substituted a different yarn by Lion Brand Yarns.

I started this project around 3:45 pm yesterday afternoon.

For this project, the instructions said that I had to use the stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl the next and so on). Once you start going, you get the hang of it. I actually remembered after 10 years how to purl. 

 

This is how it looked tonight around 10 pm before I went to bed.

Stay tuned for Part 2 tomorrow!
