V-Stitch Fingerless Gloves
 |
| Liz's gloves |
on my computer, since my fingers get cold. After much searching on http://www.ravelry.com/, I found this free pattern for these lovely gloves by Daphne Bekiari http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/v-stitch-fingerless-gloves
Skill level: Intermediate
Hook Size: G
Yarn: Worsted weight
I found that the weight of the yarn can effect the size of the gloves.
Abbreviations for Stitches Used:
Ch: chain
Sc: single crochet
Dc: double crochet
Sl st: slip stitch
FPHDC: Front-post half-double crochet
BPHDC: Back-post half-double crochet
The only stitch I had to look up was the Post half double crochet (front & back), this is an easy stitch once you understand what you are doing. This video explains it quite nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81siujwFm6Q

| Marking clusters on cuff |
I eventually made two sets one for me and one for my friend.
I should have been able to finish a set is one day, but due to fittings and interruptions it took me two days. Don't be afraid to pull it apart,
to get a better fit.
I thought I would post the differences in the pattern that I had to make, since we have different hand sizes. Also, I prefer my gloves to be a little loose and she likes hers tight. I skipped the thumbs.
Liz is 5'2", wrist 6.5", palm 7.5".
Changes in the pattern: I started her gloves with 26 chain stitches
Round 5: has 8 dc clusters around
(see marking clusters pic)
Round 10: has 4 chain stitches after the
last dc cluster
Round 11: has 8 dc clusters
Round 13: skipped and went to rnd 14
I am 5'8", wrist 6.5", palm 8.25"
Changes in the pattern: Round 5: has no changes - 9 dc clusters
around, I mention this
because I ended up with 10 clusters on my second glove
(see marking clusters pic)
Round 9: has 1 chain stitch after the last dc cluster
Round 10: has 6 chain stitches after the last dc cluster
Round 11: has 10 dc clusters
