Instructions
Ribbing
Foundation: Ch 8, turn
Row 1: Starting in the 1st ch from your hook , sc 7 in blo, turn
Row 2-30: Ch 1, sc 7 in blo, fasten off. Use tail to join the first and last row together to make a cylinder.
Palm/ Finger
For this section, you will be following the tapestry design below. All the dark squares are worked in your primary color, all white squares will be your secondary color. To compensate for this, each row has been shifted (to the left if you are right handed and to the right if you are left handed). When switching between the colors you will actually begin switching in the stitch proceeding the stitch you want to be a different color.
Round 1: attach 2nd color, ch 1, pick up sc 30 around the top of the cuff cylinder
Round 2-8: sl st, ch 1, sc into same st, follow tapestry design.
Round 9 (left hand glitten): in secondary color: sl st, ch 1, sc 3, ch 7, sk 7, sc 20
Round 9 (right hand glitten): in secondary color: sl st, ch 1, sc 20, ch 7, sk 7, sc 3
Round 10: in secondary color: sl st, ch 1, sc around
Round 11-14: sl st, p/u primary color yarn and drop secondary. ch 1, sc around
Round 15: p/u secondary yarn and drop primary. sl st, ch 1, sc around, fasten off
From here you will begin working the pattern for your fingers. I recommend adding stitch markers in the starting stitch for each finger before you begin, as to better track your starting point.
