Easy Peasy tutorial!

Of course….after 2 hours and the kids coming home….I was told, “Mom…why are you making men’s gloves?” They are a little large, but they are perfect for driving! hehe. I might make another smaller pair for me and give these to the hubby. I just saw Fingerless and how easy it was. I guess I should pay more attention to names. hehehe

Two Thumbs Up for the tutorial!!! Great Job and Thanks for sharing it!

These are great! I made them for my twin sister(she is a total tomboy) and she hardly ever takes them off!

Hey Rachel ~ He finally woke from his nap. I am very happy to report he likes the glove and is appreciative of it! =-) He is 99% satisfied with the width, but agreed for me to make the second one just a little narrower. Length is great. Thanks so much for all your feedback, and a fun & useful pattern. =-)

It will make it tighter in the sense that it won’t stretch as much.

Rachel, I did try to make the ch 8½” (circ. of his palm) but it looks like the entire piece ended up being 9″. Anyway, sl st-ing around the opening (by the wrist) would actually make it a little tighter than it currently is?

Actually it would have to be adjusted at the beginning when you started making it. The initial chain should be the circumference of the wear’s palm. But if it’s just a minor adjustment, you may be able to sew the opening a little tighter, or slip stitch around it so that it isn’t so stretchy.

I’ll have to tell “the hub” to not flap his arms around. LOL — If the gloves need adjusting (made a little tighter), how do you recommend I do that? I’m new at this “sewing together”.

I whip stitch mines too. They should be slightly loose (but not loose enough so that they fall off if he flaps is arms around), it all depends on the person. They can also be adjusted if you need them to be.

Hey Rachel ~ I just finished the first glove. To sew the seam together, I did whipstitches and then also backstitches. How did you sew yours? Also, are these supposed to be somewhat snug-fitting OR a little loose? My dh is currently napping. I can’t wait for him to wake up so I can try this glove on him (& hope he likes it – so then I will make the second one). The yarn I used is Lion Brand Wool-ease — first time I tried this yarn; I love it!

Hi Ying, it means to chain 2, then double crochet in each of the stitches all the way across the row. When you're done this row you should have made 32 stitches. Here is a post about: How to read crochet patterns, that you might find helpful.
