I recently finished a nice warm pair of knitted gauntlets. I modified a pattern from Exquisite Little Knits : Knitting with Luxurious Specialty Yarns, a book I absolutely love. I used Plymouth’s Baby Alpaca Grande in #3317 and Gedifra’s Poesie color #2017 (1 skein of each). The Baby Alpaca Grande is very soft, but knits up somewhat stiffly. I modified the pattern by knitting the yarns together instead of alternating colors, and I made the gauntlets shorter. The ribbing holds them on snugly.
