Cables, seed stitch, ribbing, garter and stockinette stitch harmonize in this charming pair of cashmere gloves. Theyre worked in the round from the wide gauntlets to the fingertips and are held in place at the wrists with narrow knitted cords punctuated with pompoms. Deborah Newton has used a tweed yarn that gives a rustic look to the otherwise opulent design.
