Petal Cuffs Pattern #60

A new and novel way of making one pair of gloves do for many occasions is to crochet detachable gauntlet cuffs according to the directions given here. Simply sew on a hook and eye at the wrist line and complete your ensemble by putting on a pair of these gay cuffs with your summer cotton gloves. These cuffs should be pressed carefully over a damp cloth and may be starched slightly, if desired.
