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.
