Hi everyone and welcome to Week #6 of the Downton Abbey KAL!
By now, you should be pretty sure what will come next. Some of you may have even figured it out already! In any case, this week, I will take you all the way up to the thumb gusset and next week we will finish up the left gauntlet. Here are the directions for week 6:
*You should have just finished up your 4 rows of straight knitting. The next set of directions will be broken down by needle just like the directions in Clue #1.
Divide sts onto needles same as for right gantlet with 14 sts on Needle #1, 25 sts on Needle #2, and 13 sts on Needle 3.
Needle #1:
Knit every round.
Needle #2 (Rosebud Lace Panel, 25 sts wide, OPTIONAL):
Needle #3:

Work all three needles (at the same time) until you have repeated the Lace Panel 3 times, then work rnds 1-8 one more time. You should have 3.5 repeats of the lace panel and 14 eyelets.
I will include directions for the thumb gusset and remaining parts of the gauntlet next week. After that, you will have a complete set of Dinner Gauntlets! I hope you all have a lovely week and happy knitting!
