STITCHING TIPS:
1) Work the CL stitches, and all tr st loosely, so that stitches are tall.
2) To avoid a large loop when skipping several stitches, as in Row 2, bring the work close to where you insert hook after skipped stitches.
Left Hand
Ch 43
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each chain across, turn. 42 sc.
Row 2: Ch 5 (counts as dc and ch 2) *Sk 6 sc, in next sc work (3 tr, ch 2, tr, ch 2, 3 tr), ch 2, sk 6 sc, dc in next sc, ch 2, rep from * across, ending last rep with dc in last sc, turn.
Row 3: Ch 4 (counts as tr), *tr3tog over next 3 tr, ch 5, dc in nex tr, ch 5, tr3tog over next 3 tr, tr in next dc, rep from *across, ending last rep with tr in 3rd ch of tch, turn.
Row 4: Ch 6 (counts as tr and ch 2), *3 tr in CL, ch 2, dc in dc, ch 2, 3 tr in CL, ch 2, tr in tr, ch 2, rep from * across, ending last rep with 3 tr in last CL, ch 2, tr in tch, turn.
Row 5: Ch 8 (counts as dc and ch 5), *CL over next 3 tr, tr in dc, CL over next 3 tr, ch 5, dc in next tr, ch 5, rep from * across, ending last rep with dc in 4th ch of tch, turn.
Row 6: Ch 1, sk dc *5 sc in ch-5 loop, sc in CL, sc in tr, sc in CL, 5 sc in ch-5 loop, sc in dc, rep from * across, with last rep ending with 5 sc in last ch-5 loop, turn. (41 sc).
Begin Stacked Arches
Row 7: *Ch 5, sk 3 sc, sc in next sc, rep from * across , turn.
(10 ch-5 loops)
Row 8: Ch 1, *(4 sc, ch 5, 4 sc) in ch-5 loop, rep from * across, turn. ( 10 arches)
Row 9: Ch 2, *(4 sc, ch 5, 4 sc) in ch-5 loop, rep from * across, turn.
Palm Shaping
Row 10: Ch 2, work Stacked Arches patt in first 5 ch-5 loops, over next join between 2 arches work (3 dc, ch 5, 3 dc), cont in Stacked Arches patt to end.
Row 11: Ch 2, work Stacked Arches in ea ch-5 loop across. (11 arches)
Row 12: Ch 2, work Stacked Arch in first ch-5 loop, in next ch-5 loop work (4 sc, ch 5, 4 sc, ch-5, 4 sc), cont working Stacked Arches all remaining 9 ch-5 loops. (12 ch-5 loops).
Thumbhole
Row 13: Ch 2, work SA in first 8 ch-5 loops; (in next ch-5 loop work 9 sc) 2 times. Turn, ch 9, sk last 2 Arches just made, sl st in join between next 2 arches, ch 1, turn. In ch-9 loop work (4 sc, ch 5, 4 sc, ch-5, 4 sc). Now continue working SA in remaining ch-5 loops to end. 12 arches
NOTE: You now have a hole for the thumb, topped by two arches which are “finished off” -- the ones with 9 sc in them. In the following row you will work into the ch-5 loops made in the ch-9 loop.
Rows 14 and 15: Ch 2, work SA patt across.
Row 16: Ch 2, work 9 sc in ea ch-5 loop across.
Turn work 90 degrees. You will see that the first row has 4 sc along the side edge, while the next has a ch 2, and these two alternate all along the side. *Sk first sc, work sc into each of next 3 sc, work 3 sc in ch 2 toop, rep from * till you reach the end of Stacked Arches section, to Row 6 of pattern. We will now work the remaining section of the edge, adding in buttons as we go.
On working yarn, measure out about 3 feet of yarn and cut.
Before we proceed, now is the time to steam your pieces flat. The glove may look small, but it will stretch around the hand and fit snugly. My hands are large, and the gloves fit very nicely. If you are using a different yarn, test it for stretchiness. If it doesn’t stretch, you may also steam block the pieces to gain some fabric. After steaming, proceed to the next step.
Picking up the working yarn, work sc into side of row 6. Slide a button onto yarn and up to work. Work sc around other side of button shank into ch-3 at side of row 5. Work two more sc into this ch-3, 4 sc into side of tr (row 4). Slide up another button and work sc into side of row 4 st at bottom. Work 3 sc around dc at side of row 3, 2 sc around tch of row 2, slide up another button, work sc into side of row 1, end off.

Working from WS, make slip stitch seam to join glove at center. When done, turn inside out.
Right Hand
Follow instructions for Left Hand up to and including row 11.
Thumb Shaping
Row 12: Ch 1, worked Stacked Arches patt 9 times, in next ch-5 loop work (4 sc, ch 5, 4 sc, ch-5, 4 sc), work Stacked Arches patt in last ch-5 loop, turn. (12 ch-5 loops).
Row 13: Ch 2, work SA in first 2 ch-5 loops, (in next ch-5 loop work 9 sc) 2 times. Turn, ch 9, sk last 2 Arches just made, sl st in join between next 2 arches, turn. Ch 1. In ch-9 loop work (4 sc, ch 5, 4 sc, ch-5, 4 sc). Now continue working SA in remaining ch-5 loops to end. 12 arches
For rest of glove, follow instructions for Left Hand beginning at Row 14 to end.
1) Work the CL stitches, and all tr st loosely, so that stitches are tall.
2) To avoid a large loop when skipping several stitches, as in Row 2, bring the work close to where you insert hook after skipped stitches.

DORA'S ONE SKEIN WINNERS

Tilli Tomas
Morning Dew Scarf
Tilli Tomas Beaded Plie,100% silk with Glass Beads, 140 yds
Color 3033, Atmosphere
With only one skein of this beautiful yarn you can have a stunning scarf to dress up any outfit. Note that beads will tend to collect on backs of stitches, so the RS of this scarf will have the backs of fan stitches facing.
C-2/2.75* mm hook or size needed to obtain gauge
*This may be a particularly quirky choice of hook for most people, as the stitches are not that small. I found this a good size because of the beads, and worked rather loosely. You may need a bigger hook for this gauge and I do encourage matching this gauge, as a smaller scarf might look skimpy. I used exactly the whole skein, with only a few feet left over.
Scarf measures 3 3/4” wide and 4 ‘ long.

Lace Fingerless Gloves
The pattern uses two stitches I discovered in 365 Stitches a Year, a stitch dictionary reviewed in this issue here.
Tilli Tomas Voile de la mer, color Dusty Purple, 1/2 skein (approx 60 - 70 yds)
Fingering weight
B-1/2.25 mm crochet hook
3 small half pearl shanked buttons
Gauge: Rows 1 - 3 in patt = 5 3/4’ x 1”
2 rows of 3 Stacked Arches = 1 3/4 x 3/4
Stitch Patterns
Oval Windows: instructions given in pattern below)
Stacked Arches
After an intial setup row, the pattern is worked as follows:
Ch 1, *(4 sc, ch 5, 4 sc) in ch-5 loop, rep from * across, turn.
The cuff uses the lovely Oval Windows pattern, bordered at top and bottom by a row of single crochet stitches. The Stacked Arches pattern begins in row 7. Arches are added to shape the hand and thumb.
Special Stitches
Cluster (CL): tr3tog as follows --[yo 2 times, insert hook in designated st and draw up loop, (yo and draw through 2 loops) 2 times] 3 times (4 loops on hook), yo and draw through all loops.
STITCHING TIP:
1) Don’t attempt to pull beads through your loops, but rather let them fall to back of the work.
2) To avoid a large loop when skipping several stitches, as in Row 2, bring the work close to where you insert hook after skipped stitches.

Row 3: Ch 5 (counts as tr and ch 1), sk ch 1, tr in next tr, ch 1, sk tr, tr in next tr, ch 1, cont across placing tr in every other st across (counting ch-1 between fans as a st) ch 1 between each tr, ending with tr in tch. 116 tr

These gorgeous fine weight yarns by Tilli Tomas have brought out the lace lover in me. The two projects here each use ONE SKEIN only. In fact, you can make two pairs of fingerless gloves with one skein of Voile de la Mer.
