Using Oslo stitch again, but F1 connection this time, not F2.

Texture has worked out quite open but it looks nice. I hope they last! Giving them to Daniel.

Wrist

Start at wrist and working upwards.

  • 23 stitches and join.
  • Work 8 rows.

Increase rows

Increasing to allow space for thumb.

  • Increase (2 sts into same stitch) - mark second increase stitch.
  • work 2 sts, then increase again.
  • Increase on alternate rows until a total of 4 increase rows.

Thumb hole

After 4 sets of increases, continue around row again then pause when approaching increases.

Should have 23 + 8 stitches = 31.

  • Chain 2 stitches and leave 9 stitches from previous round.
  • Join back in and work 2.5 more rows around hand.
  • Finish off on opposite side to thumb.
