These chic Manica gloves feature a buttoned cuff, flower buds and twisted stitches.
The cuff is knitted in the round and turned inside out to flatter pretty handpainted yarns. Stitches are picked up and the twisted stitch pattern runs up the arms to the hand.

These long stylish gloves will keep your hands warm whilst practicing wand waves in the palace gardens.

Manica is a pattern from Beautiful Knits for Beautiful Sticks book. They match the Camaura hat.
