Supplies:
~ F hook [3.75mm]
~ Worsted weight yarn [I used Wool Ease yarn for these. I LOVE this yarn!]
~ Yarn needle
Stitches Used
Stitches used [in US crochet terms]:
- ch = chain
- ss = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- dc = double crochet
Tips for Success
Tips:
~ Check the fit of the first glove [including the thumb hole size] as you go; you'll be glad you did! Make adjustments whenever necessary...these are very customizable.
~ In order to have evenly spaced scallops, it helps if you have an even number of rows at the end of step 5.
~ This pattern assumes the mitts are a single color. To make stripes like mine, you just need to pick up and drop colors as you're moving back and forth across the rows.
Making the Left Hand Glove
- ch 28
- Row 1: dc in third chain from hook (counts as first dc); dc in each chain across; [27 dc total]
- Row 2: ch 2 (counts as first dc); turn; dc in next stitch from previous row and in each stitch across [27 dc total]
- Rows 3-14: repeat row 2
- Check for size by wrapping around hand/wrist. It should be a little smaller since it will stretch when you put it on. I used 14 rows total for my mitts.
- Do not finish off but fold rectangle in half with rows running horizontally
- sl stitch two sides together until you are 9 stitches from the end
- Stitch only on side closest to you for 5 stitches, creating a thumb hole, and then continue stitching sides together to the end; do not finish off.
- ch 1, sc in same stitch; *in next gap between row stitches 3 dc, in next gap 1 sc*, repeat pattern evenly around and join in first sc [this is the top where your fingers will come out]
- Now you can finish off [Can you tell I don't like ends :D]
- Join yarn at seam on opposite side, ch 1 in same stitch, *in next gap between row stitches 5 dc, in next gap 1 sc*, repeat pattern evenly around and join in first sc, finish off.
- Weave in ends
Crafting the Right Hand Glove
- 1-6. Same as left hand
- sl stitch two sides together for 4 stitches
- Repeat step 8 above
- ch 1, sc in same stitch; *in next gap between row stitches 5 dc, in next gap 1 sc*, repeat pattern evenly around and join in first sc
- Finish off
- Join yarn at seam on opposite side, ch 1 in same stitch, *in next gap between row stitches 3 dc, in next gap 1 sc*, repeat pattern evenly around and join in first sc, finish off.
- Weave in ends
Personalization Options
Options:
~ I added little woolie flowers to my pair [ch 4, join, *ch 5, sl stitch in center* repeat 4 more times, finish off and use ends to attach to mitt], but you can embellish anyway you choose.
~ Use a larger hook for fewer rows and a faster finish.
