Vintage gloves: Kamilla

Knitted gloves in vintage style

I’ve a faible for vintage style and especially designing knitted gloves in vintage style. The pattern shown has a lot of small cables, which is so vintage. At church bazars at Christmas time, you can sometimes buy those gloves, knitted by someones grandmother.

The pattern itselfI’ve worked a lot with the fit of the glove, and it’s especially, after my opinion at least, the way the thumb is made that has a lot to say about how nice the gloves are to wear. It fits like hand in glove so to speak. The pattern is very detailed described and there are added photos as well.

On a knitting scale from one to three, where one is easy and three is difficult, I will rate it around two.

Yarn and needlesI use needles 2.5 mm- US 1.5 and I tried the pattern with Drops Alpaca. Gauge is 33 sts and 44 rows = 10 cm

And in sock yarn from arwetta, Filcolana, 80% wool and 20 % nylon. Gauge is 35 sts and 47 rows = 10 cm
