Knitted seed stitch detail gauntlets

Knitted seed stitch detail gauntlets

~SUPPLIES~

-Size ten needles

-Safety pin (optional, but it helped me loads)

-Sewing needle/tapestry needle

-Thread that matches the yarn you are using ((you can use extra yarn too but I found that that makes them too big :/))

-Tapestry needle (to sew in the yarn ends)


~DESIGNER’S NOTES~

This is for a small sized wrist and hand, my hands are about child sized so if you are making this for a bigger hand and wrist I suggest either making it on a larger size needle with larger size yarn or increasing the numbers of stitches and/or rows to make it either wider or longer, which ever size hand you or the recipiant of the gauntlets have. You could also make them smaller if needed.

Also the seams are sewn with thread and not yarn because the seams shouldn’t be bulky. But you CAN sew the finger hole seam with the yarn end of you want, that doesn’t cause any problems. :)

also it says DK yarn but worsted works too, if you want :3


~DIRECTIONS~

Co 30 sts.

Row 1: K all stitches.

Row 2: St st 5 rows.

Row 3: Seed st ((or Moss st depending on where you’re from...same diff)) for five rows.

Row 4: St st for five rows.

Row 5: St st for nine rows on every K row ssk on the right and k2tog on the left.


Row 6: In St st keep decreasing like you have been doing but before or after depending on left or right side k2. This will make a nice edge on the part that covers your hand.

Repeat row six until you have seven sts left on your needles.

Row 7: CO 5 sts.

Row 8: St st 2 rows.

BO loosely

~~Sewing~~

Sew the wrist part up to where you want it and then sew the finger hole together. DONE! :D
