A couple of months back there arose a need for a pair of white gloves for my niece's school function. We first thought of getting a new pair from the local shops but if you do a little math of probability,factoring in around a hundred other students also looking to buy a pair of white gloves that evening, our chance of finding one in a shop was close to zero. So instead of hopping shops we took the DIY route.
I knew to crochet (self-taught) but I haven't crocheted anything in over a year and especially never crocheted a glove before yet I jumped at the opportunity to make a pair..mainly to see whether I still remembered how to make atleast a dc stitch.
I chose a simple design from youtube (where else!) which used only the single crochet stitch(for the novice,this is the most basic stitch in the world of crocheting).
I opted to do the cuffs in double crochet stitches as it would save time and also looked a bit pretty. I never did like the single crochet stitches much.
In a couple of hours I had the pair of gloves completed and all ends sewn in.
Its not perfect,there were a few hiccups while doing the fingers but not bad for a first attempt I would say. It fit perfectly too and did the task in the school function next morning. So thats that, I might not be crocheting anything anytime soon so atleast this little diy experiment reminded me that I still remember the basics in crocheting. TC.
