Description
Sanquhar Gloves have captivated the Scottish and non-Scottish alike since the late 1800s when they were first created. These gloves were favored for riding and driving horses, playing the sport of curling, and looking fashionably smart as well! The mathematics of Sanquhar Gloves is always the same. The construction is unalterable so that the only way to create different sizes is to change the gauge or the number of stitches within the little boxes. To preserve the motifs, this pattern is sized by changing needle sizes.
