Embrace the charm of yesteryears with our beautifully designed knitted gloves in vintage style.

These gloves evoke nostalgia, reminiscent of the delightful finds you can encounter at charming church bazaars during the festive Christmas season—often handcrafted by loving grandmothers.
The Pattern Itself
One of my primary focuses in creating this pattern was the fit of the glove. In my experience, a comfortable fit can make all the difference, and I wholeheartedly believe that the design of the thumb plays a crucial role in how enjoyable the gloves are to wear. They fit like a glove—quite literally! This pattern comes with a comprehensive, detailed description accompanied by helpful photos to guide you through each step.
On a knitting difficulty scale from one to three, where one signifies an easy project and three indicates a challenging one, I would rate this vintage glove pattern at a level two. This makes it a perfect choice for adventurous knitters looking to elevate their skills while enjoying a classic design.
Yarn and Needles
For this vintage glove pattern, I recommend using 2.5 mm needles (US 1.5), ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit. I experimented with different yarns, including Drops Alpaca, achieving a gauge of 33 stitches and 44 rows per 10 cm. Alternatively, for a slightly different texture, I also tried using sock yarn from Arwetta, Filcolana, which is a lovely blend of 80% wool and 20% nylon, resulting in a gauge of 35 stitches and 47 rows per 10 cm.
Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting out, these vintage-style knitted gloves will be a rewarding project that adds warmth and nostalgia to your winter wardrobe. Dive into this beautiful knitting project today and bring a touch of vintage sophistication to your accessory collection!
