Introducing our stunning gauntlet pattern, inspired by traditional Norwegian gloves from Selbu, infused with historical design elements from fencing gauntlets throughout the ages. The intricate chevron design featured on the fingers pays homage to the finger plates and knuckle risers found on 15th Century German Gothic Knights’ gauntlets. Additionally, the classic crosses on the palm evoke the textured patterns commonly used in fencing gauntlets to enhance grip. Both the chevron and cross motifs are rooted in traditional Selbu designs, creating a harmonious blend of cultural artistry in these gloves.

These impressive gloves are knitted in the round, requiring a solid understanding of two-color knitting techniques, particularly the Fair Isle method. Additionally, the wristband design incorporates elegant cabling and I-cords to ensure a snug yet stylish fit. The pattern is carefully crafted, offering a combination of detailed written instructions and clear charted visuals, with precise measurements provided in a helpful schematic.

Not only are these gloves a true statement of craftsmanship and style, they also come with ornate lined cuffs that keep your wrists cozy—perfect for layering with capes and other outerwear. Enhance your fall and winter wardrobe with these elegant gauntlets that merge functionality with sophisticated artistry. Get ready to impress everyone with your knitting skills and style!
