anarchy in the UK handwarmers - PDF Pattern

These gloves were originally hand knitted by me from my own pattern whilst listening all the while to my Fidelity old record player. These Union Jack gloves are a homage to The Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten and God Save the Queen (the record). You can re-create (with or without the soundtrack) using the pattern I have written.

Pattern includes charts and knit support.
