Hi Shirley, you can make a hole for the thumb by working back and forth in rows instead of rounds that join. You can start the arm warmer in rounds though, and work in rows instead when you get to where you want the thumb hole to be. Then work in rounds again when your thumb hole is big enough.

Hi..Im making arm warmers for Dialysis Patients and would like to know how to make an
opening for the thumb..I make them in the round Tunisian simple stitch. They like them fingerless
but opening for the thumb..
Would like the information if there is a way to do this..

Hi Mariah,I’m not 100% sure why there’s a gap in your work, but try looking at the pics in step #12. Make sure you are actually pulling through 2 loops and not just one. If you do as instructed, your left side should look like step #12′s pic.

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but the left side of my swatch doesn’t look the same as yours. Mine has gaps on the left that can be clearly seen through. What am I doing wrong?

Chyna, it’s like when you normally crochet into a chain. You can either use the stitch on the back or the stitch on top. It’s really just personal preference. You can try either way and see which one you like better

Hi! When you began crocheting into the chain of 10, did you crochet into the back stitch only? Thanks in advance!

I really like this stitch — but my sample piece keeps curling toward itself (the bottom curls up and the top curls down. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
