About the Designer:
This is my first written pattern. I wanted gloves that would be thin enough to be comfortable while working on a keyboard, or to be layered with other gloves when worn outside. Sock yarn with wool content works up very soft and warm.
Directions:
These directions are for a woman's size medium glove. The pattern is easy to modify. Measure the hand at the top where the top of the glove will sit (pattern is for a 7.5" hand) and chain the necessary number of stitches, count your stitches and adjust the knit/purl combinations . Add rows to increaselength. Row 1: Ch 29 using either tunisian hook (also known as afghan hook) or regular crochet hook. Turn, Switch to H afghan hook and work foundation forward pass in the back humps of chain - 28 Ips and return pass. This is yourfoundationrow. Row 2 - 3: Work TSP stitch - 28 Ips and return passes. These rows will help reducecurl. Row 4 - 26: Work in stitch pattern, TSP, 3 TSK, TSP, 3 TSK, 2 TSP, 6 TSK, 2TSP, 3 TSK, TSP, 3 TSK, TSP, return pass. Row 27 - 28: Work TSP stitch - 28 Ips and return passes. These rows wil helpreducecurl. Row 29: With H crochet hook work bind off row. At end of row, ch 1, work one round of sc on all sides, 3 sc in each corner. At end of round, fold the piece in half lengthwise. Sl st long sides together, leaving a 2.5" thumb opening 1.5" from the top of the glove. Weave in ends. Work the second glove the same as the first.
