I just LOVE this pair of gloves that I made last year. They are SO useful when out shopping.
A couple of weeks ago I came across the yarn I'd used for them and wondered if there was enough to crochet another pair. I weighed the original gloves and then the 'leftover' yarn. Result - PLENTY. So, out came the crochet hook and off I went on another journey.
Now what I love about crochet gloves is that I don't get those wretched holes at the bottom of the fingers that you get when you knit gloves. Well, probably nobody else gets holes but I do!!!! However careful I am I have 'air conditioning' in my gloves.
This pair have full fingers/thumbs so are now designated 'out for a walk' gloves!!!!
I managed to make these (I find crochet a lot faster) while I was fiddling with the TIAS during the day. Crochet in the evening was a lovely change.
I've only crocheted gloves with thread, are yours bulky?
ReplyDeleteNo, not really and that's in spite of the glitter too!!! I use a 4 ply thread (fingering I think it's called in the USA). I know you're in Australia so not sure what you call it. It's a free pattern too online.
ReplyDelete4 ply is what it's called here too, and it's the regular weight of sock wool.
ReplyDeleteCan we borrow them for next week please miss?? Vbg
ReplyDeleteYour gloves look great!! :)
ReplyDeleteI get A/C knit gloves too! Plus I am not wild about the very small rounds to make the fingers. Which is why I usually knit fingerless gloves, and crochet gloves... sometimes using the knit stitch! Yours are very nice, the yarn is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors. They look warm.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, love those and I can see the advantages of crocheting gloves rather than knitting them. Thumbs up!!
ReplyDeleteLove these - they look cozy too!
