The instructions for the Ringwood Gloves in Richard Rutt’s A History of Hand Knitting are very general. The gloves were usually knitted in a 4 ply on “thick needles”. No sizing or gauge is given in the book.

The town of Ringwood, Hampshire, UK, has a long history of a hand knitting industry and these handknitted gloves were sold commercially until mid 20th century.
