Originally from:
Weldon’s Practical Needlework, Volume 1: Practical Knitter.
Published c. 1885.

This is my adapted version of this pattern. These gloves are knit flat, seamed, and then embroidered. Both gloves are knit the exact same. You make a left and right version by folding one glove one way and seaming, and the other glove the opposite way and seaming.

This pattern seems easily customizable by adjusting stitch counts, rows, increases. Or you could try sizing up your yarn weight and/or needles.
