Char

Char is a classic-looking glove designed for maximum durability.  Sock yarn and a textured slip stitch pattern create a strong fabric that remains sophisticated enough for daily wear.  They're visually attractive without being too ornamental, and the slip stitch pattern is the perfect showcase for hand-dyed yarns.  A braided rib cuff keeps wrists snug and warm, while the left and right hands are worked differently for the best fit possible.  Simple but engaging stitch patterns and clear instructions make this a very accessible pattern. **Sizes & Finished Measurements** Hand Circumference: 7 (8, 9) in/18 (20.5, 23) cm shown in size 8 in/20.5 cm **Yarn** 230 (265, 300) yd/210 (240, 275) m fingering weight yarn Shown in Hazel Knits Artisan Sock; (90% Wool, 10% Nylon; 400 yd/366 m per 120g skein) Color: #246 Sassafras; 1 skein **Gauge** 30 sts/40 rows = 4 in/10 cm in Stockinette Stitch 36 sts/38 rows = 4 in/10 cm in Braided Rib Pattern 32 sts/40 rows = 4 in/10 cm in Pebbly Slip Stitch Pat- tern **Needles & Notions** Needle sizes are recommendations only.
