Glove question for my knitting/reenactment friends
I've been asked to knit some gloves for a friend.
In reenactment terms, this is 1880s England, male, lower social status, but if we can extend the date range as far as possible (up to 1910-ish?) that would be good.
In design terms, we're after "fingerless gloves" - not mittens, the sort with short/cutoff fingers. Definitely not lacey (no, the famous Cranfords will not do). He'd like them done in a mixture of assorted colours: he's an outdoor entertainer, specialising in "silly".
Can anyone recommend a pattern?
