These simple, sideways-knit gauntlets have a Victorian-inspired lace edge that flares over your hands. The shaping is done by adding extra wraps to the stitches on the end and then subsequently dropping the wraps, creating a lacy, wedge shape on one edge of the cuffs that expands elegantly over your hands. These gloves are knit flat from a provisional cast on and then grafted together, making them a fast, simple knit, great for a beginning lace knitter!

They also require very little yarn and so are perfect for leftovers from other projects!
