Special Stitches:

Notes:

1. Wristlet is worked in the round, starting by working both sides of the starting chain. Form starting chain, and work sc’s into back bump of starting chain, continuing around and back up the other side of the starting chain, so that you end up with v’s on both sides of the foundation round to work in.
2. When joining rounds, pull joining sl st tight, ch 1, and then work first sc of next round in same st as join (join st = first st of round), textured rounds will sk first st and begin textured pattern in second st. This will keep all the joins aligned vertically along one edge of the wristlet.
3. Textured rounds are turned, be sure you are working the texture st in the sc of the previous round.
4. Rounds transition to gradually reducing rows to form closure flap with buttonholes.

Finishing:
