Madeleine Gloves
These sleek gloves were inspired by a pair from the 1950s, adorned with a lace cuff and lace inset detail on the back of each hand. The short split cuff is an elegant detail and an opportunity to show off a few precious small buttons, and a very narrow crocheted finish allows the lace to flow all the way to the edge of the cuff. The springy cashmere blend yarn blooms with blocking to produce a smooth stockinette fabric and stretchy lace.
