Granny Lerwick Gloves

These beautifully crafted traditional Fair Isle gloves are named in loving memory of my beloved Granny, a talented knitter whose passion for wool and patterns inspired generations. In her knitting bag, I discovered a pair of incomplete Fair Isle gloves, lovingly knit yet awaiting final touches. The ends need to be woven in, and like we say here in Shetland, they require a good wash and block, or as we affectionately call it, getting "dressed." Granny Lerwick, as my sons fondly named her to differentiate her from their other grandmothers, deserves to be remembered through this timeless pattern. These gloves reflect not only a rich tradition of Shetland knitting but also the warmth and love of family heritage. Perfect for both gifting and personal use, this Fair Isle gloves pattern celebrates the art of knitting and the cherished memories of family. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting, this pattern will guide you in creating a cozy, stylish accessory that embodies the spirit of Shetland crafting.
