Short and Sweet Fingerless Gloves

Notes

These little wristlets are cute and super-quick! They are worked in one continuous piece–

narrower around the wrist and flaring slightly to accommodate the wider width of the

hand. Shaping is accomplished by using slip stitches and single crochets in the same

row–there are no increases or decreases. You will make the main body panel, then work

around all four sides in picot and slip stitches alternately. The last step is to stitch the

opposite sides of the panel together, leaving a space for the thumbhole.

Stitches Used

Ch = chain

sl st = slip stitch

sc = single crochet

sc (sl st) blo = single crochet (slip stitch) in the back loops only of the previous row

sc flo = single crochet in the front loops only of the previous row

Picot Stitch (working into row edges) = chain 3, join with a sl st to next row edge, repeat

to end.

Glove (make two)

1) Ch. 26

2) Working into both loops of the chains, sc into the second chain from hook and in each

ch across (25sc)

3) Ch 1, turn. Sc blo in the next 12 sc. Sl st blo of the next 13 sc.

4) Ch 1, turn. Sc flo across

5) Ch 1, turn. Sc blo across

6) Ch 1, turn. Sc flo across

Repeat 3-6 until there are 33 rows (or until desired width), ending with an even-numbered

row (wrong side)

Turn work 90 degrees. Working into row ends, picot stitch accross.

Turn work 90 degrees. Sl st into the opposite sides of the bottom ridge loops of the

starting chain.

Picot stitch accross the top.

Fold work in half with the wrong side facing out. Using sl st, join the front loop of the st

nearest you to the back loop of the one opposite. Do this for 10 sts. Sl st over the next 9

sts (thumbhole) and join the remaining 6 sts.

Fasten off and weave in ends.
