Materials used : Today I’ve used about 60 gms 4-Seasons DK acrylic yarn with a 5 mm crochet hook ; fabric glue to seal ends
This yarn is not specific for this project.
You can use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this project to any size.
For Indians : The yarn I've used is very similar in thickness to our Oswal or Vardhaman acrylic yarns or Laura knitting cotton.
Single Crochet : Sc :yo, insert hk into st ; yo (2 lps on hk); yo, draw through both lps.One sc made.Check out the video at https://youtu.be/ghACqBpA-3k
First stitch for Single Crochet : This is how I like to start my row of sc. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/6pVYRfsf4_M
Single crochet back loop only (sc-blo) : Here is an easy video tutorial
Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern.
Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
Our gloves today will be from just below your wrist to just above the halfway mark of your fingers. There will be an opening for your thumb.
We work a rectangle (of sorts) that will be the length (from below wrist to halfway up your fingers) & the width (which is the round palm measurement from around the base of your fingers)
Here's where you have a small calculation to work out.
1) Measure the length you want for your gloves.
2) Measure your round wrist and measure around the palm (just at the base of your fingers - that bony bit just after the palm which is the largest part).
Generally for ladies we work about 18 - 19 cm / 7 - 7 1/2" ; and for me we work 19 - 20 cm or 7 1/2 - 8" for around palm measurement
We start working out gloves as a rectangle - from wrist to the top of the palms. The rectangle will be L (length of glove form wrist to top of palm) and W (width of top of palm or round wrist, whichever is larger)
Row 3 : hhdc in the 1st st & in each st till end. Turn
Row 2 : sc in the 1st st & in each st till end. Turn
.. and that's our pattern done !
Work as many rows as you need, working from top to bottom of your glove, till you get the round wrist or round palm measure.
Remember that this pattern and your yarn hav a stretch.. so make it just a little bit tight or snug and it will stretch into palm shape.
Fasten off and leave a tail for joining.
Use one of these joining methods given below.
How do you join?
You have a neat rectangle - and you will join along the length (or join the starting & end rows) to make a cylinder. You need to leave a small opening for the thumb.
Starting at one end, join the two parts for about 45 cm / 2" (for a lady) or 7 cm/3" (for a man). You then leave a gap of 5 cm (lady) / 7 cm (man) and continue joining all the way to the end.
