Mr February's pattern was inspired by the film, Gladiator. He may have fought long, hard campaigns in distant lands, but he’s done it with warm hands. Be ready for your next conquest with these firm knit gloves. The Gladiator gloves are worked flat, sewn up at the sides and the thumb is picked up and worked in the round with dpns.
