GLOVES 573D

Medium Size

The back of the hand and palm side are worked vertically, in two separate pieces. Then these two pieces are joined around the sides of hand and fingers.

Right Hand. Starting at wrist, ch 42 (to measure about 7 inches), turn. 1st row: Insert hook in 3rd ch from hook, * yarn over hook, insert hook in next ch, draw out a loop, yarn over hook and draw through all loops on hook, ch 1, insert hook in next st, draw out a loop. Repeat from * across (20 group sts). Ch 2, turn. 2nd row: * Insert hook in 1st group st, draw out a loop, yarn over, insert hook in next ch-1, draw out a loop, yarn over and draw through all loops on hook, ch 1. Repeat from * across. Ch 2, turn. 3rd and 4th rows: Repeat 2nd row. 5th row: Work in pattern across to base of Middle Finger (this may be determined by laying this piece against the back of your hand), then ch 22 for Middle Finger, turn and work in pattern for 4 more rows. Break off. Attach yarn at base of Ring Finger (determine this as before), then make 1 group st, ch 18 (thus starting Ring Finger). Then work in pattern across chain (8 patterns) and across next 5 group sts, sl st in next group st, turn and work to fingertip. Work 2 rows straight, working across entire row. Break off. Attach yarn at wrist and work to base of Little Finger, then ch 14 (thus starting Little Finger) and work for 3 more rows. Break off.

Palm Side. To begin, ch 46, turn and work in pattern as for Back of hand (22 group sts). Ch 2, turn and work 3 more rows. Break off. This strip forms the underside of thumb and inside of Forefinger. Make a similar strip starting with ch 36 (17 group sts). Break off.

Thumb. Place 2nd strip in position over 1st strip so that foundation chains of both strips meet. Place a pin at one end to hold strips together. From the end with the pin, count 8 groups along foundation chain, attach color B in next sp and work back over these 8 groups as follows: * Ch 1, s c in next ch-1 sp, working s c through the 2 strips in order to join them to form thumb. Repeat from * along the group sts, then across the end, and continue up on other side along 8 groups. Break off. This completes the thumb. Try work on right thumb, having the shorter strip extend toward the wrist to form inside of hand. Attach yarn at wrist and work to base of Middle Finger, then continue as for Back of hand until all fingers are made. Break off.
Joining. Place one piece over the other so that fingers correspond. Attach color B at wrist and join the 2 pieces with ch 1 and s c (as in thumb) around fingers.

Cuffs. To begin, with color A ch 26 (to measure about 4½ inches), turn. 1st row: S c in 2nd ch from hook, s c in each ch across. Ch 1, turn. Hereafter pick up only the back loop of each s c. 2nd to 6th rows: S c in each s c across. Ch 1, turn. Break off. 7th to 10th rows incl: Attach color B and repeat 2nd row. Break off. 11th and 12th rows: Attach main color and repeat 2nd row. Break off. These 12 rows constitute the pattern. Repeat these 12 rows until piece is long enough to go around edge of wrist. Break off.

Sew narrow edges of cuff together. Sew cuff to edge of wrist.

Band. With color A ch 46, turn and work 4 rows in pattern. Break off. Sew this piece across center back of hand. Then, with 2 strands of color B, make a chain about 16 inches long. Break off. Lace this chain across the center band on back of hand. Make 2 tassels as for Hat and sew one on each end of chain.

Left Hand. Since there is no wrong side to this work, make two pieces exactly as for Right Hand, but join to correspond with Left Hand.
