In my native language Zhuravina is meant by “cranberry”. Saturated red color of gloves reminds this berry, isn’t it? But you can choose any colors of a yarn to knit these fingerless gloves!

The main part of gloves is knitted, and the lacy border is made by a hook.

Skill level: Advanced beginner. Skills needed: knitting in the round, to know some basic crochet stitches.
