Downton Abbey inspired Glamour With Silk: Gown Gloves begin at the upper arm and narrow in circumference to the wrist. These shaped gloves are knit in stockinette stitch, save for a small bit of single rib at the upper arm for a noncurling edge. Thumbs are shaped specifically for left and right hands, and each finger tapers elegantly to a rounded point. (Interweave)
