Valentine Sanquhar Gloves
These beautifully crafted Sanquhar gloves are perfect for celebrating Valentine’s Day, featuring intricate knit stitches that create tiny hearts in the corrugated ribbing cuffs and charming heart motifs on the hands. Designed in the spirit of the original Sanquhar gloves from Scotland, which date back to the mid-1800s, these gloves showcase traditional techniques such as thumb and finger gussets for a perfect fit. To add a loving touch, the upper cuff is adorned with "I Love U," making them a heartfelt gift for that special someone.
**NOTE:** Sizing for these gloves is determined by gauge, so if you want smaller or larger gloves, consider changing your needle sizes. The ideal hand circumference is measured just above the thumb; remember to allow for ease in your measurement by adding 1/4" or more. Then, choose the size that is closest to your adjusted measurement from the options listed below.
