I feel these are appropriate for Sacharissa, because they are practical enough to allow her to take notes in the cold; they are made of luxurious yarn; and they have a hint of sauciness from the corset tie.

Sacharissa Cripslock is a reporter for the Ankh-Morpork Times, in the more recent Discworld novels.

The inner layer is a beige ruffled glove (beige Indie and #28 Superior), and over top of that is a separate brown piece (with appropriate thumb hole) (Bijou Basin stranded with #11 Superior). Ribbon is used to corset-tie the brown part closed.

Yarn Substitutions:

For Indie: Jade Sapphire Mongolian Cashmere, 2-ply or JS Cashmere/Silk; Jojoland laceweight cashmere

For Bijou Spun: any soft, cushy fingering weight yarn

Project can either be knit in the round (this is how the pattern is written) or knit flat. No directions are given for knitting flat.
