Diamond Gauntlet - Fingerless Gloves
Notes:
Hook: 5.0 mm
Yarn: SMC Select Trend (bulky - 12 ply)
sl st - slip stitch
hdc - half double crochet
MC - main color (orange for me)
CC - contrast color (black for me)
2hdc tog - decrease two half double crochets into one stitch
These gloves are crocheted in the round. All ch 2 at start of round do not count as a stitch for the numbering below. You must know how to "carry-along" yarn for this project. You need to know how to combine two Half-double stitches together (2hdc tog) - there is a short tutorial here.
Lastly - I changed color (for every color change) in the last yarn over and pull through of each stitch.
Pattern: - for left and right gloves
