Bottom Ribbing:
*Attach your yarn using a slip knot or other joining method, to the bottom border of the glove – where the original starting chain was.*
Ch 7
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 5 sts. Sl st into the starting ch from the glove below and sl st into the next ch as well.
Row 2: sc blo in 3rd st from hook and each of the next 5 sts. Ch1, turn.
Row 3: sc blo in 2nd ch from hook and in next 5 sts. Sl st into next starting ch and in ch after that as well.
*repeat rows 2 & 3 18-22 times to create the ribbing. For a tighter fit, create less ribbing (you can do this by skipping spaces between sl sts or by placing additional sl sts along the border before turning), for a looser fit, add more*
Optional Alterations:
- Thumb space: to make a smaller thumb space, attach yarn at the inner corner of the thumb space and work as many rows of sc or hdc flo as you need to reach a comfortable thumb space.
- Glove length (to cover more of your fingers) – add as many rows of hdc flo as you need to reach a comfortable length.
- Ribbing: Ribbing can be modified to be longer or shorter by chaining more or less to start.
