So spring/summer is here finally! The season of blooming
flowers, colors, liveliness, ice creams and also sweaty pigs like humans! ;)
As it has been a long time since I had posted any CROCHET
patterns, here is a simple yet elegant, trendy and airy pattern just for
spring/summer!
Now, you would say who wears Wristers in summer?
Well sweethearts don’t judge a book by its cover! Unless
you have made these pair of trendy and elegant with relative easiness I assure
you that you’ll wear them everywhere!
And the best part? - Its free size and stretchable, anyone
can wear them anywhere!
So let’s get started shall we?
In this pattern I have used a new stitch-created by me of
course- which I call THE BLOCK STITCH. Because when you make it, it’s kind of
like a block but HOLLOW!
All you will need:
- A neutral color yarn like – white, black , grey or beige (neutral so that you can pair them with any outfit)
- · A 4.0 hook
- · Your wrists!
- · Optional: the opposite color ribbon
Pattern:
- Chain 26.
- Slip stitch in to the first chain to form a ring
- Chain 1
- Single crochet in first chain and in each chain across. Slip stitch in to the first single crochet.(26 sc)
- Chain 2
- Half double crochet in first single crochet and in each single crochet across. Slip stitch in to the first half double crochet. (26 hdc)
- Chain 1
- Single crochet in first chain and in each chain across. Slip stitch in to the first single crochet. (26 sc)
NOW COMES THE FUN PART!
- *CHAIN 5
- SKIP 2. Double crochet in to the third half double crochet stitch.
- This creates the first block stitch.
- Chain 2, skip 2 and double crochet in to the third half double crochet. Continue to do the same across. Slip stitch in to the 3rd chain(9 blocks)
- Chain 1
- · Single crochet in first chain and in each chain across. Slip stitch in to the first single crochet. (26 sc)*
- Repeat from * to *. You get 4 rows of BLOCKS
- Chain 2
- Half double crochet in first single crochet and in each single crochet across. Slip stitch in to the first half double crochet. (26 hdc)
- Chain 2
- Half double crochet in first single crochet and in each of the next 22 single crochets. Stop when 4 single crochets are left(22 hdc)
- Chain 4
- Slip stitch into the 2nd chain of the previous CHAIN 2
This creates the cavity for the
thumb
- Chain 2
- Half double crochet in first single crochet and in each single crochet across. Slip stitch in to the first half double crochet.(even on the four chains) (26 hdc)
- CHAIN 5
- SKIP 2. Double crochet in to the third half double crochet stitch.
- Chain 2, skip 2 and double crochet in to the third half double crochet. Continue to do the same across. Slip stitch in to the 3rd chain(9 blocks)
- Chain 1
- Single crochet in first chain and in each chain across. Slip stitch in to the first single crochet. (26 sc)
- OPTIONAL :As these gloves are free size, they may not be tight for everyone and be a little looser for you. If that is the case , then you can get some ribbon, insert it inot the fiorst block stitch and tie a bow!
Hi, I really like the look of these wristers and think teenagers would love to wear them, i would love to have ago at making them, but can not see in the instuctions what weight yarn you used, i am in the UK so if you could tell me if it's 4ply, DK, Aran etc i would really be grateful.
ReplyDeleteKind Regards.
Hello,
DeleteI am so glad you like these wristers.
I am really sorry for not mentioning the type of yarn used. I actually used cotton yarn as these are for summer. They would be more comfortable that way.
Hope I could help.
P.s-your from UK? That's so cool!
