WWI Gloves and Wristlets

Many varieties of hand wear: gloves, wristlets/wristers, mittens, gunner gloves, rifle mittens, and fingerless gloves. I can make these in many colors of pure wool yarn. I made all of these from the original Great War patterns.

These are short wristers that just cover the hand.

The short wristers have a thumb hole, but can also be made without one to just be worn around the wrist.
