The yarn used was Lion Brand Microspun which is a sportweight yarn.
Pattern: I made it up as follows:
Size 6 needles
Cast on 38 stitches.
Row 1:knit
Row 2: knit
Row 3: knit 1 * k2tog 3 times, yo k1 6 times, k2tog 3 times* Repeat from * till one stitch left, k1
Row 4: purl
I did 16 repeats of those 4 rows. I put in an afterthought thumb by knitting stitches 17-20 with waste yarn, passed those stitches back to the first needle and knit one more pattern repeat.
Then 5 rows of k1p1 ribbing.
Bind off in a stretchy bind off.
Put stitches held by waste yarn onto 2 needles (8 stitches) and discard waste yarn. Pick up 2 stitches on either side of thumbhole (12 stitches total). Knit 2 rounds. then k1p1 for 2 rounds and bind off.
And you will have your very own Shale Gauntlets
