Stitching Instructions for Making the Hygge Arrow Gloves Pattern:
Cuff Instructions
- Foundation Round:
- Small: Ch 24, Medium: Ch 26, Large: Ch 28.
- Join with a sl st to the first chain to form a ring, being careful not to twist the chain.
- Round 1 (Set-up Round):
- Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), sc in each st around.
- Join with a sl st to the first sc.
- (Stitch count: Small = 24 sts, Medium = 26 sts, Large = 28 sts.)
- Rounds 2-10 (Building the Cuff):
- Repeat Round 1 to create a ribbed or solid cuff. You can adjust the number of rounds for a longer or shorter cuff.
- Fasten off and weave in the ends after Round 10.
Hand Instructions
- Round 1:
- Attach the yarn to the first st of the cuff with a sl st.
- Ch 2 (counts as hdc), hdc in each st around.
- Join with a sl st to the top of the ch-2.
- Rounds 2–4:
- Ch 2, hdc in each st around, join with sl st.
- These rounds create the main portion of the glove’s hand.
- Round 5 (Transition Round):
- Ch 1, sc in each st around.
- Join with a sl st to the first sc.
Thumbhole Instructions
The thumbhole is worked by skipping stitches to create an opening.
- Round 1 (Create Opening):
- Ch 2 (counts as dc), dc in the next 2 sts, sk 2 sts (this creates the opening for the thumb), dc in the next 2 sts.
- Continue dc in each remaining st around. Join with sl st.
- Round 2 (Reinforce Opening):
- Ch 2, dc in the first 3 sts. Sk the thumbhole opening (2 sts) and dc directly into the next 3 sts.
- Continue dc in each remaining st around. Join with sl st.
- Rounds 3–5:
- Ch 2, dc in each st around, join with sl st.
- These rounds build height for the hand section after the thumbhole.
Arrow Design (Optional)
The arrow pattern adds texture and visual interest to the gloves.
- Round 1 (Arrow Set-Up):
- Ch 2 (counts as dc), dc in the next 2 sts, sk 2 sts, dc in the next 2 sts.
- Repeat the pattern of “dc in 2 sts, sk 2 sts” around.
- Join with sl st.
- Round 2:
- Ch 2, dc in the first 4 sts. Sk 2 sts, dc in the next 4 sts.
- Repeat the “4 dc, sk 2 sts” pattern around.
- Join with sl st.
- Repeat as many rounds as desired to extend the arrow design or stop for a simpler look.
Finishing the Glove
- Rounds 1-3 (Final Length):
- After completing the arrow design (or skipping it), repeat the hdc rounds from the hand instructions to extend the glove to the desired length, ending just below the fingers.
- Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.
- Repeat all steps to create the second glove.
Tips for Success:
- Test your gauge before starting to ensure proper sizing.
- If you’re new to making gloves, try the medium size first—it fits most hands.
- Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds, especially for the thumbhole.
- Block the gloves lightly to even out stitches and soften the fabric.
