Turning Leaf Gloves - PDF Pattern
Turning Leaf Gloves - PDF Pattern
In the early days of publishing, a sheet of paper with printing on both pages/sides was commonly referred to as a leaf - a less popular usage now, but one that lives on in phrases like “to turn a new leaf, ”loose-leaf” paper, and the French word feuille. The Turning Leaf gloves were inspired by the gilded leaves of hefty leather-covered tomes (be they the Bible or The Wonderful Land of Oz), this inspiration reflected in graceful pleats that shape the hands of these vintage-style gloves.
Gloves are worked from the cuff to the fingers. The cuff is worked flat, with the hand and fingers worked in the round.
Can be purchased as bundle with the Goldenbook Cardigan.
