This pattern was first published in Weldon’s Practical Needlework, Volume 15, 1900.

Audrey Honig Geragosian made sample gloves for Knitting Traditions, Fall 2013 (Lace-Issue), where the pattern itself is also (re-)published. The yarn weight and yardage and needle size given above refer to the sample gloves from A. H. Geragosian.

Originally it suggests: “This glove may be knitted in fine wool or silk of any colour. The design is knitted in a mixture of silk and wool, pale terra cotta and white, manufactured by Messrs. J. and J. Baldwin, but can equally well be worked in black, white, fawn, or grey wool. … To knit a pair, procure 2 ozs. of wool or a 2-oz. ball of silk, four steel knitting needles, No. 16.”

The pattern is written only. There is no gauge given.
