Pin it for later!
I had to put a few more rows on the cuff than 18 or it would have been too small to get my hand through or go to a bigger hook.
Yes by all means add more rows if you need to. I like mine fitted and 18 rows has always been a good number for me.
Do you have a video for the fingerless mittens?
Hi Ree! I’m working on that now and hope to have it posted this week 🙂
Hi Laura, where can I find the video of the fingerless gloves? Looking forward to making these!
This pattern worked up quickly!! Love it!!
Hi Laura, after sl st the cuff together I can’t get 26 stitches in next row. I can get 20 or 30. I keep pulling it out can’t get 26.
The cuff came out fine with 9 stitches, but then how do you get 26 stitches to go around?
As you might guess I am a beginner crocheter.
