Vintage Gauntlet II
This is a 2-needle version of the Vintage Gauntlet I designed specially in UK Alpaca Superfine Double Knit wool for handknitting.
Specially for those of you who have not yet mastered knitting in the round but love the mittens.
We at Knit Knack think this version is still gorgeous but, without gettting too technical, the shell design on the back had to be omitted for it to work as a flat piece of knitting.

Rib Wave Gauntlets
These mittens, in a drop stitch rib, were designed by Dorret Conway using UK Alpaca yarn. A variation of this design is featured in Simply Knitting Magazine, February 2007 and are described as "terrific".
Dorret says, these mittens are designed to show that you think about things in a different way to give unique design effects.
The customise ideas are there to help you can vary designs and "make them your own" and so build your confidence and to make things that are totally personal.
You can contact Dorret by writing to her at the Knit Clinic on this site if you would like any advice or help with this design.
