This pattern is available for $3.00.
This gender-neutral pattern was written to highlight the special characteristics of a good handspun yarn, but can certainly be knit in a luscious commercial yarn with outstanding results.
This can be mostly knit on an 8 to 12 inch circular (all but the thumb), depending on the size you are making. Otherwise, it can be knit on DPNs, two circulars, or magic looped on a long circular.
I do recommend pointy needles to make the k3togs easier on your hands, especially if you knit tightly.
Many thanks to Rebecca and Kerry for their excellent test knitting/technical review.
