Knitted gloves in vintage style

I’ve a faible for vintage style and especially designing knitted gloves in vintage style.
The pattern shown has a lace pattern that also includes cables, it’s pretty flexible so it fits almost everyone.

The pattern itself
I’ve worked a lot with the fit of the glove, and it’s especially, after my opinion at least, the way the thumb is made that has a lot to say about how nice the gloves are to wear. It fits like hand in glove so to speak.
The pattern is very detailed described and there are added photos as well.

On a knitting scale from one to three, where one is easy and three is difficult, I will rate it around two.

Yarn and needles
I use needles 2.5 mm- US 1.5 and I tried the pattern with sock yarn from arwetta, Filcolana, 80% wool and 20 % nylon. The gloves on the photos are done in arwetta from Filcolana
