A few weeks ago we learned how to make simple single crochet graphed fingerless gloves. This week we have a Tunisian style pattern, that will work with the same set of 16 x 16 graphs you are used to using! A few are provided here in this blog post and other options are offered below the pattern post through the Creative Threads By Leah Graph Shop. PLEASE save yourself time and DO A GAUGE SWATCH, and read the NOTES at the beginning of the pattern.

STITCH GUIDE
CH(s)
- chain(s), SC - single crochet, ST(s) - stitch(es), BLO - back loop only, SL ST - slip stitch,
TSS - Tunisian Simple Stitch, back ridge - note this is a loop created on the back
of the beginning chain
NOTES -
1) When
working a graph in Tunisian, both the forward AND return pass count as part of
that row
2) When
changing Colors, always yarn over in the color of the 2nd loop from your hook
on the return pass
3) When
changing colors always "LOCK" your yarn by twisting it around the
color next to it in order to prevent holes and gaps
4) Remember
that the blocks on the graph count as the spaces between your loops. SO yo work 18 graph blocks you will need 19
loops on your forward pass.
5)
Always, CH 1, before beginning your return pass in TSS
6) Please be sure to follow Left AND Right hand instructions separately.
7) Note that the "picture" should turn outwards for OTHERS to see when you show your hands. It is poor ettiquette for them to turn the picture facing you.
