Nothing says siren better than a pair of Opera gloves. They are the epitome of timeless elegance. Every girl should have at least one ( or 3!) pair in her wardrobe.

Equally lovely is the mid-length version. While both versions feature the Amphora Lace stitch, only the Opera length gloves incorporate diminishing cables set between the lace repeats.
The matching cowl features the Amphora Lace with a ribbed and ruffled border. The buttoned closure allows for flexible wearing, and minimizes hair trauma!

Garments illustrated were made with alpaca for a luxurious softness and warmth. The pattern is both written and fully charted. Patterns for both the gloves and the cowl are included in this pattern.
