Elphaba Glovelettes
You will need:
• 8ply or DK weight wool in four colours: black, purple, bright green, pale green
• A 24 peg round loom with a gauge similar to the KK looms (5/8”)
• A crochet hook or needle (to weave in ends), scissors and loom tool
• A way to count rows (such as a row counter, or a notebook and pen)
Knowledge required:
• E-wrap cast on
• Purl stitch (p)
• U-wrap knit stitch (k)
• Half-stitch (HS)
• Super stretchy bind-off (http://loomknittinghelp.com/looms/rlr/bindoff/sewn.html)
(All of these can be found on Youtube, don’t be afraid to learn something new!)
Notes:
• In this pattern we hold two strands of wool as one while working. The black and purple (colour A) go together for the border and the two greens (colour B) go together for the middle.
• When working on the border, pull the purl stitches really nice and snug, but don’t pull the u-wrap knit stitches. This helps keep the bubbly bits even.
• All knit stitches in this pattern are u-wrap stitches, except for the cast-on row.
• On row 16, keep the loop on peg 1 looser than normal, to make opening it up easier.
• I like the thumbhole to be quite large, but if you want it to be a bit smaller, add two (or four) rows of knitting in after row 16 and remove rows 17-18 (or 17-20) from the pattern. This will make the thumbhole smaller without shortening the glovelettes.
