Full Glove Version

• 2 (2, 2, 3) skeins of Purl Soho’s Cygnet, 70% undyed white cashmere and 30% natural-color baby alpaca. Each skein is 164 yards/ 50 grams; approximately 210 (270, 310, 380) yards required for full glove version. We used Heirloom White.

You will also need…

• A set of US 2 (3 mm) double pointed needles
• Stitch markers, including 1 unique
• Stitch holder and scrap yarn

NOTE: If you want to use Magic Loop for the Cuff, Thumb Gusset, and Upper Palm sections of this pattern, you’ll also need a pair of US 2, 32-inch or longer circular knitting needles. We still recommend double pointed needles for the fingers, though, since those extra tiny circumferences can be tricky.
