PATTERN NOTES

Gloves are worked same for right and left hands except for optional finger loop.

Because gloves are worked in rounds, stitches will shift slightly; use increases to keep front post double crochet stitches for ruffles straight and in right places.

Chain-3 at beginning of round counts as first double crochet unless otherwise stated.

Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated.
