Utterly Charming

Discover the elegance and charm of our latest knitting project: gloves that are perfect for every lady who values style and sophistication. As tradition dictates, a lady should always wear gloves… except while taking her afternoon tea. These exquisite gloves feature a very old German pattern that adorns the back of the hand, making them a fashionable accessory for any occasion.

The design includes a delicate hint of lace and a pretty ruffled edge, creating a unique look that appears intricate but is surprisingly simple to knit with just a seven-row repeat. Imagine the satisfaction of crafting such beautiful gloves with ease!

One of the standout features of this pattern is the sculptured gusset thumb. This gusset begins just a few stitches in towards the palm, ensuring an anatomically correct position that provides excellent freedom of movement. Additionally, the gusset where the thumb meets the hand is shaped by decreases, ensuring a snug fit that perfectly follows the natural contour of your hand.

Included in this pattern are both charted and written instructions for the lace section, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Plus, there’s a detailed photo tutorial on how to make the delightful tassels that add a touch of elegance to your finished gloves.
