Turning Leaf Gloves

In the early days of publishing, a sheet of paper printed on both sides was commonly referred to as a "leaf." While this term is less popular today, it lives on in expressions like "to turn over a new leaf," "loose-leaf" paper, and the French word "feuille." The Turning Leaf gloves are inspired by the gilded leaves found in hefty, leather-covered tomes—whether it's the timeless Bible or the enchanting pages of The Wonderful Land of Oz. This inspiration is beautifully reflected in the graceful pleats that elegantly shape the hands of these vintage-style gloves.

Crafted with both style and warmth in mind, the Turning Leaf gloves are designed and worked from the cuff up to the fingers. The cuff is knitted flat, creating a cozy and comfortable fit, while the hand and fingers are expertly crafted in the round to enhance ease of wear and flexibility. This combination ensures that each glove is not only a stunning accessory but also a practical piece of knitwear that you can enjoy throughout the cooler months.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this pattern offers a delightful challenge that results in a beautiful finished product. Ideal for cozy evenings by the fire or as a thoughtful handmade gift, these gloves are sure to impress. Explore your creativity and add a touch of vintage charm to your wardrobe with the Turning Leaf gloves pattern!
