Glove in the Rose pattern, "JNF" at wrist
Example of a Sanquhar pattern glove in black and white wool to illustrate the "Rose" design. This is one of several variations on the Duke design known as 'squares'. The design was named in 1930 after the birth of Princess Margaret Rose.
This example was knitted by Miss Jane N Forsyth, then in her seventies, using size 15 needles and 3 ply wool. It has the initials "JNF" at the wrist. Her gloves were displayed at various country shows over the years.
