Pattern Debut: Helena Gloves

I can't decide whether to count this pattern for 2015 or 2016, but either way, I'm excited to share my latest design: Helena Gloves, from Knitscene Spring 2016!

These gloves are knit in a luxurious alpaca/silk blend, and feature a textured stitch pattern, buttoned cuff and fun cutout design. They're the perfect light accessory for spring, when you want it to be warm enough to forgo woolens, but it actually isn't. 

These gloves are featured in the Garden Party story in the spring issue, which is just FULL of darling vintage-inspired patterns to brighten up your spring. The Spring 2016 issue of Knitscene hits newsstands in January, but you can buy the digital edition right away!

Check out the spring preview here, and queue the Helena Gloves on Ravelry here.
