Notes … |
|
| Different Edgings |
The edging in this pattern is extremely simple and takes about an hour (or less) to go around the cuff of a glove. If adding edging to a hat or ski band, it will take longer, of course. For a more elaborate edging, pull out your crochet books, like the Harmony Guides, and find a nice edging to use. Check the pattern to see how many sts are needed for each pattern repeat, then make sure that your round 1 has the necessary scs to make the selected edging. When working round 1, if the edge of the piece flares out too much, replace round 1 with the following: Attach yarn to smaller hook with a slip knot, push hook through the cuff of the gloves in one of the troughs of the ribbing. Yo, pull loop through cuff, yo, pull through both loops on hook, sc made. *Ch 2, sk next “trough,” sc in next trough,* repeat from * to * around, join with sl st to first sc. |

| Reader Tip | Reader Pat Baucom sent me an e-mail saying that she’d made several of these gloves for Christmas using eyelash and other textured yarns for the added trim. She also made matching scarves to go with them and they were all a big hit. Double the giving pleasure! |
