LATTICE LOOP GLOVES (Medium Size)

Materials: Clark’s O.N.T. (3 balls) or J.& P. Coats Mercerized Crochet, Size 30, 2 balls. Milward’s steel crochet hook No. 7 This glove is worked throughout in lattice loops.

Left Hand:
1^st rnd: *Ch 2, thread over hook, insert hook in 2^nd ch from hook and pull loop through, thread over hook and draw through all sts at once. Repeat from * 37 more times (or more to be large enough to go over hand). Join with sl st to form ring.
2^nd rnd: *Make 2 p’s as before (always ch1 at end of 2^nd p hereafter), skip 1^st and 2^nd p’s of previous rnd, sc between 2^nd and 3^rd p’s (this will be referred to as a "lattice loop"). Repeat from * around (19 lattice loops in all). 3^rd rnd: *Make 1 lattice loop, making sc in center of next lattice loop (between 2 p’s) of previous rnd. Repeat from * around.
4^th to 11^th rnds incl: Like 3^rd rnd.

Shaping for thumb:
12^th rnd: Make 1 lattice loop, make another lattice loop but put sc in same loop as previous sc (this is an increase), 3 lattice loops, 1 lattice loop putting sc in same lattice loop as previous sc. Work lattice loops around with no more increases.
13^th and 14^th rnds: Like 3^rd round.
15^th rnd: Like 12^th rnd, making increases in lattice loops directly over increases of 12th rnd.
16^th to 19^th rnds incl: Like 3^rd round.
20^th and subsequent rnds: Work lattice loops as far as 1 loop beyond 1^st increase of thumb, then make 2 p’s, skip next 6 lattice loops (which are between the 2 increases of the thumb), sc in next lattice loop (thus separating thumb from hand). Work lattice around and around the hand part of the glove until when tried on it reaches to the base of the fingers.

Fingers:
Put glove on and mark fingers by putting a safety pin on palm and back of hand between each finger.
Forefinger. Make lattice loops over lattice loops, making 2 p’s to join the loops together that have been held together by a pin between forefinger and middle finger. Do not remove pin. Work in spiral for about 14 rnds, or until length desired. It is better not to have fingers too long. Draw tip together by making a sc in each loop. Fasten and break off.
Middle finger. Attach thread to loop at pin on palm side between ring finger and middle finger. Work lattice loops across making sc in loop where previous pin is, sc in loop where same pin is on back of hand (no loops between), make lattice loops across making 2 p’s to join the loops together that have been held together by the pin between middle finger and ring finger. Work in spiral making lattice loops until length desired. Fasten as before.
Ring and little fingers. Same as forefinger and middle finger.
Thumb. Attach thread to a loop on palm side of hand and work as for fingers.

Gauntlet:
1^st row: Attach thread in loop to left of center on palm side, and work across but do not join to beginning but make 3 p’s to turn. Entire gauntlet is worked in rows. 2^nd row: sc in next loop, 3 lattice loops, *in next loop make: 1 sc, 3dc, 3tr, 3dc,1sc. Make 2 lattice loops and repeat from * across. Make 3 p’s and turn. 3^rd row: Lattice loops across making 2 loops on each shell of previous row. 4^th to 11^th rows incl: Lattice loops across.

Gauntlet Edging
Attach thread to 1^st sp at opening of gauntlet. 1^st row: *Ch 5, sc in next lattice loop. Repeat from * around. Turn. 2^nd row: *Ch 10, sl st in last sc, ch1, turn and make 18 sc in ring, turn ring, 6 sc over each of next 2 loops, repeat from * around.

Right Hand:
Make the same as for left hand, only being careful that the fingers are made to correspond with the right hand.
