Knitted Winter set-knit for hire

I made these for a family friend, Tracy. She wanted something that resembled Michael Jackson's white gloves, plus a scarf to go with and was having trouble finding them. For the scarf I used the One Row pattern here and for the gloves the Coraline pattern here (omitting the color changes).

I used the generic acrylic available at Hobby Lobby in a worsted weight for both. They came together very quickly, though I did end up doing one glove twice, as I tried two different increase methods and liked the one on the second glove better. Since I love busy hands, it was easy (and fun) money!
