I love to knit gloves. I have hard to fit hands, wide palm and chubby, short fingers – commercial gloves just never fit. But when you knit your own gloves, they can always fit. It is easy to change stitch counts and lengths for fingers. 

And Oh the Cuffs! There is so much one can do to personalize the cuffs. Make them long, make them short or make them Opera length like these.
These gloves feature a twelve inch cuff that was knit with a wide gusset just waiting to be laced up with your favourite closure. The sample shown uses a wide silk chiffon ribbon, try an I-cord, or leather lacing or maybe a hand dyed silk ribbon. Or maybe don’t lace them at all – just let the soft fabric gather at the wrist. The options are endless.

At the end of the pattern there is even an option for a pair of simple ribbed cuff gloves.

All Laced Up - November Fancy are fine-gauge hand-knit gloves worked seamlessly in the round with a sculptural lace-up tie detail that turns a classic accessory into something worth showing off.
