Hand Knit Gloves

There are two pairs of hand knit, wool, Sanquhar gloves for sale in my Etsy shop. One red/white pair and one black/white pair!

The gloves measure approximately 6 1/2 inches from tip of middle finger to bottom of palm (not including wrist), by approximately 3 3/4 inches width of palm. Measurements are taken from the glove laid flat (not with hand inside). Because it's a knit, the gloves are quite stretchy.

The gloves are knit in the Duke style of the Sanquhar pattern. The wrists have a cute little knitted bow (traditionally the wearers initials would be knit here).

The yarn is a lovely, hand dyed, merino lambs wool from France. The wool company is Renaissance Dying. And they use natural plant based dyes.


These would sure make for a special Christmas gift for a lucky lady in your life ...

Sheppard's Plaid

So, as promised, I've been knitting up a pair of gloves for myself! The Sheppard's Plaid, Sanquhar patter has been a nice change from the Duke. I've now finished the right hand glove and it fits perfect. My tension is getting better with the 1.5 mm needles and lace yarn.


Here's a picture of the right hand glove in the near completion stage. I like the look of it with the needles still in it.

Sanquhar Gloves for Kristy

My first lady-sized Sanquhar gloves are complete! This are for my sister, so they are sporting the initials K.G.

I used merino lace yarn on 1.5 mm needles. This Sanquhar pattern is called the Duke. This seems particularly appropriate for my family, as my Nana's maiden name was Duke. Now I think I'll knit myself a pair, but in the Shepherd's Plaid pattern!
