Long Ribbed Gloves – 1990s Vintage Knitting Pattern: Instant PDF Download
Sizes: Women’s XS (6½″), S/M (7″–7½″), M/L (7½″–8″)
Few handknit accessories are as quietly impressive as a pair of perfectly fitted ribbed gloves — and this 1990s vintage knitting pattern gives you everything you need to make them. Worked in the round on double-pointed needles entirely in a k2, p2 rib, these long gloves have a slim, elegant silhouette that fits like a second skin. The pattern walks you through a carefully shaped thumb gore, then branches into all four fingers and the thumb individually, with sizing guidance for a custom length. Shown in a beautiful avocado Merino wool, they’re a satisfying intermediate challenge and an heirloom-quality finished object.
