Handknit gloves with a good fit and a tight fabric are a pleasure to wear. Use sock yarn (wool / nylon blend), and they will last a good long time. The inner cuffs on these gloves are not just cool, but extra warm. The piping is a beautiful detail which is surprisingly simple to knit. Plus, so stylish and so impressive that you made them!
