Pattern Notes
- Gloves are worked flat in rows and then stitched together on the side of the thumb.
- Ch 1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch.
- Use a 5.5mm hook for the foundation chain and a 4.5mm hook for the rest of the glove.
Written Instructions
- Foundation Chain: With a 5.5mm (I/9) hook, chain 35. (Chain more for longer gloves, less for shorter gloves.)
- Row 1: Switch to a 4.5mm hook. Starting in the second chain from the hook, SC in the back bump of each chain across (34 Sts). Ch 1 and turn.
- Row 2: SC in BLO of each Stitch across (34 Sts). Ch 1 and turn.
- Repeat Row 2 until the piece measures:
- 5.5" for Small
- 6.5" for Medium
- 7.5" for Large
Assembling
- Sew the sides together with a yarn needle, starting 2 inches from the top, leave a 1.5-inch space for the thumb, and then continue to stitch together the rest.
- To create the thumb hole, when reaching the thumb gap, stitch through one side to avoid having to cut the yarn.
Finishing Touches
- Weave in ends.
- Repeat the process to make the second glove.
