These are just the gloves for one of the Musgrove sisters to wear while exploring the Cobb in Lyme. Starting with a handful of i-cords worked on more than the usual three stitches, these gloves come together surprisingly quickly from fingertips down to cuffs. Added bonus: gloves may be worn on either hand. 

Note: Flying Gull stitch for cuff ribbing is provided in both charted and written formats.
