Ladylike Lace Gloves

From <em>Stitch 'N Bitch Crochet:&nbsp; The Happy Hooker</em>:&nbsp; <br /> <br /> My father bought me my first vinyl album, Cyndi Lauper's <em>She's So Unusual</em>, for my ninth birthday.&nbsp; Fast-forward to my eBay purchase of a &quot;learn to crochet&quot; magazine published in 1946 by Clark's J&amp;P Coats, back when ladies not only wore gloves but also matched them to their own hat and handbag.&nbsp; I've taken the side-to-side construction, ribbing, and lace from a vintage pattern in that magazine and updated it by modifying the lace, taking off the fingers, and adding shaping in the wrist.&nbsp; the ribbing makes the gloves stretchy and warm, and the lace is a nod to Cyndi.<br /> <br /> Note on gauge:&nbsp; 28 stitches = 4 inches; 12 rows in cluster lace pattern on back = 2 inches; 8 rows (unstretched) in palm pattern = 2 inches. Use the hook size YOU need to get gauge! [Errata][1] is available on the designers blog (mkcarroll.com); additional information is given in the comments on that blog post.
