These dainty, old-fashioned gloves feature an elaborate lace edge that’s worked sideways in garter stitch. The strip of knitting is grafted into a ring to form the cuff, and the remainder of the glove is worked in the round. The soft alpaca lace yarn held double makes a thin but warm fabric, perfect for dress gloves.

This pattern is charted only. Skills required are: working a provisional cast-on, working a yarn over, decreasing with k2tog and sk2p, casting on using the backwards-loop method, picking up and knitting stitches, increasing with M1L and M1R, and grafting with Kitchener stitch.
