These are the gloves that I wished for when I was in college doing medieval reenactments in the SCA. They are whimsical but much like all of my costumes in college, not period. But, they are perfect for wearing outside on a cool day or for keeping your hands cozy inside on a cold winter’s day.

Please note, I write my patterns in a slightly different style than most people. I use block lists for each row or round so please be sure to read over all that you’ll be doing in a row at once. I am used to writing for 9th grade art students who have trouble tracking multiple steps written in list form. They normally use arrow sticky notes to track which section and step they are on. I wrote my patterns using this approach and took pictures of what I was doing for each step. This is my brain on teaching for 20 years :)

You will need 5/8 inch ribbon for lacing the sides of the gloves and 4x6mm beads for accenting the cuffs and point on the hand.

I have included three sizes for this pattern but you can change the size by changing the weight of yarn and/or the size of your hook.

Thank you Catherine DePasquale for encouraging me to write my first original pattern. Your designs have been a wonderful inspiration for these gloves.
