These gloves were inspired by the gloves worn by Alice in the Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland. The moment I saw these in the film I knew I had to make a pair for myself.
They are very snug and lightweight, which will be perfect for the fall and early winter. The pattern is very simple and easy to remember. So far I only have two pairs of these gloves completed, but I will be making more in the near future.
This pair was made using Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport in Aran and Winter Blue. I tried to match the color to the pair worn by Alice in the film and I think I got pretty close.
This is one of the best pictures I could find that show the gloves clearly. I had to watch the movie a couple of times before I could figure out exactly what shade of blue they were, luckily I already had a pretty close shade in my stash so I didn't have to go looking everywhere to find something that matches.
This pair was also made using Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport in Victorian Pink and Royal Purple. Once I began working on this pair, I realized that I had chosen colors that remind me of the Cheshire Cat from the animated Disney version of Alice in Wonderland.
Right now I am working on a pair that I call my Tim Burton gloves. Black and white stripes always remind me of Tim Burton since they appear in many of his films, so I thought the name was fitting. I am using Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport in Pepper and Aran. So far I have the first glove completed and 1/4 of the second one done.
I love these. :-)
