Knitted gloves

In the cold season, it is important to take care of protecting your hands. The best way to protect them from frost, cold and wind are gloves. There is hardly a person who has never encountered such an accessory. Beautiful gloves have become an important element of the wardrobe of any fashionista.

When exactly this element of clothing appeared is not known for certain. But already in the twelfth century, they had an important role and were not just an element of clothing, they became something more.

Using them, men challenged each other to a duel, and women flirted with the men they liked. Their presence was an indicator of status. Even the royal people had a similar accessory in their wardrobe. It is well known that the French king Louis XIV had gloves tied from cobwebs. Their manufacturing technology was a secret.

In Russia, they were also an indicator of the status and wealth of the owner. And after Peter I introduced European fashion in Russia, gloves became an integral part of the wardrobe of the nobility.

Various types of gloves are common today. They may be:

• Classic. The length of the gloves is slightly above the wrist. They are universal for men and women;
• Mittenki. They are a shortened model with cropped fingers;
• Elongated. Openwork model above the elbow. Most often there are evening or wedding;
• Shortened. A little more fashionable than classic.

Knitted gloves do not just look beautiful. In the cold season, they are still warm and comfortable. And wearing something that is connected by a loved one or the girl herself is doubly more pleasant. This option can also perfectly complement almost any image.

They can be decorated with a unique ornament. Almost always products with any bright pattern in the Scandinavian style will be in fashion. In this case, and not only in this, their combination with the same sweater, hat or scarf will look especially impressive.

In this case, you can embody the most interesting and bold ideas that the craftswoman has. For those who want to keep their beautiful hands warm in the winter, double gloves can be made. Their difference from all of the above is that they have not only external, but also internal mating.

Thanks to this decision, they will definitely be warm and comfortable even in the most severe frosts. You can also decorate them with some decorative elements - for example, zippers, straps with buckles, buttons. The field for activity of any craftswoman will be simply huge here.

The above was a discussion of materials for making gloves. But winter is a separate category. They can be sold separately, or can be part of a knit set. They should be considered separately and in more detail.

The material for their manufacture can serve:

• mohair;
• wool;
• knitted mink.

The main advantage of mohair is its naturalness, for many fashionistas this is the most important criterion. This material is extremely gentle and soft to the touch, it is pleasant to touch. It is not scratchy and does not rub at all. It does not cause any irritation, so it is considered an excellent solution that can easily come into contact with the skin. He is also respected by designers, as any color will look good with him.

Woolen gloves retain heat very well. In this case, the wool can be different, ranging from goat hair and ending with some exotic species, for example, yak wool. The main properties of this material are resistance to moisture, airiness and softness. All this also allows such gloves to have excellent antibacterial characteristics, since the conditions for their reproduction are simply not created in this material. Another advantage of the coat will be its healing properties: it helps to combat rheumatism and joint diseases.

Knitted mink patterns are a pure winter accessory. They are very warm and look expensive. This effect allows you to achieve a special structure of the fur. Such solutions are very popular, as they are constantly in demand and quite durable, which means they will serve their owner more than one season.

The first criterion that should be followed when choosing gloves is size. After all, they will sit perfectly on the arm only when they are suitable for physical parameters. At the same time, it is not always possible to carry out fitting in the store. And if purchases occur somewhere on the Internet, then this question may even turn into a problem.

For such cases, there is a special algorithm that allows you to calculate the size of the glove. To do this, you need to know the girth of the wrist. By measuring it, the resulting indicator must be converted to millimeters and divided by 27.

For example, the volume of the wrist is 15 centimeters or 150 millimeters. Dividing this number by 27, we get 5.5. That is, you need to find a model with the same or approximately the same size.

When choosing this accessory, you should also take into account the features of the figure. If your hands are full, then short models will look better on them. And for small hands along the length, women's gloves no higher than the elbow are perfect.

But even if the size is known, there is a risk that you can buy a low-quality product. To avoid this, you should pay attention to:

• Insulation, which should be clearly distributed throughout the area. If the product is fur, then there should be no scuffs or signs of wear anywhere;
• Stitches. Everywhere they should be as even as possible and no threads or anything else should stick out of them.

Be sure to require a warranty card and keep a check, since the option that the product will have to be returned can never be ruled out.And one should not be afraid to ask the seller how to care for gloves. After all, leather products cannot be washed. You need to know how you can keep their original appearance, as long as possible.

Winter gloves, especially when it comes to knitted gloves, need special care. To make them worn as long as possible and maintain their original appearance, you need to follow these tips:

• When washing, in no case should they be rubbed heavily;
• The temperature of the water should be no more than 38 degrees, and preferably cold in general;
• Woolen models should be washed only by hand using special care products for such things;
• The washed thing must be straightened and put on a dry towel;
• It should be dried only in a straightened state;
• Gloves can only be ironed through a cloth that will be slightly damp. And if they are made of cotton, then only in this way can this be done;
• If the item is made of mohair, then you need to wash it even more carefully - the water temperature should be no more than 26 degrees and special substances should be used for wool products.

Observing these simple rules, you can significantly extend the life of your favorite mittens with a knitted patch and not only.

As you could see, there are a lot of options for this accessory, and they can differ not only in color, style, but also in shape and material of manufacture. The question is what to wear them with.

For example, dark brown models will contrast well with a coat or a light sheepskin coat or boots. It may be very useful in this case, the bag is brown or black. In this combination, you can also use a scarf or scarf. It will look best brown or black, as well as something bright.

Another combination that deserves attention will be a coat or sheepskin coat made of leather, matched to match the accessory. A good addition will be boots decorated with white fur. Lipstick should be matched to the tone of the accessory.

Blue color looks great with outerwear that has a red color. Universal are black gloves. They will be a great addition to almost any outfit. A bright lipstick or lip gloss will also perfectly harmonize with them.

White gloves are also an interesting option. It’s quite easy to pick up something for them. This color contrasts cool with black and will be in perfect harmony with brown. A combination with boots or a white scarf will be interesting and unusual.

According to most people, the described accessory from one manufacturer is not at all different from another, but it is not. SALMO Thinsulate gloves will be significantly different from Wrangler. Although both of them look bright and fashionable thanks to an unusual design decision - leather inserts in knitted gloves or knitted inserts on a leather product. Brands such as Armani Jeans and Lacoste can please fashionistas with interesting solutions.

Prada offers girls exquisite long coarse yarn accessories. The Chanel brand can offer something similar. True, the latest models of the French company lost a little in elegance due to the fact that they became quite massive due to large knitting.

Buying gloves from a well-known manufacturer, you will get not only status. Such a stylish thing will always be fashionable. If we talk about knitted mittens, then, of course, you can do something yourself in accordance with your tastes and needs.
