Crocodile Stitch gloves/arm warmers

So I saw a really cool pair of gloves/arm warmers recently that I really wanted to make. Trouble was all I could find was that the person that made the pattern wasn't allowing it for free. they wanted $5 for just the pattern!

In the tradition of keeping things free I found out what the stitch was called found a pattern for how to do that stitch and created my own pattern for the gloves/arm warmers.

So here is my creation!!!

Crocodile Stitch arm warmers/fingerless gloves

For these I used:
Lion Brand Yarn Wool-Ease in Eggplant (2 skeins 3oz each, there was about half a skein left over when
finished)
Hook Size E/4-3.50MM
Stitch marker for marking rounds
Yarn Needle for tying in ends

Abbreviations: The pattern is written in US terminology.
ch -- chain
sc -- single crochet
hdc -- half double crochet
dc -- double crochet
sl st -- slip stitch


To work the scale pattern: work 5 hdc around the post of the first dc of the set (from top to bottom of the
dc post), ch 1, work 5 hdc around the post of the second dc inserting your hook from left to right (from
bottom to top of the dc post)


To start:
Make a slip knot leaving a long tail. Chain 37.
Row 1: sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in every ch until the end of the chain. (36 sc)
Row 2: ch 3, turn, dc in base of ch3, *ch 2, skip 2 ch, 2 dc in next sc*, until the end of the row.
Row 3: ch 1, turn, work scale pattern around the first set of 2 dc's, *skip one set of 2 dc's and work scale
pattern in the next set of dc's (the one following the one you just skipped)*; repeat from * until the end of
the row, working just 4 dc in the 2nd part of the last scale. -- 7 scales.
Row 4: ch 3, turn, sl st around the post of first dc (from row 2) to complete the last scale pattern from row
3. Ch 3, dc in center sp of scale, *ch 2, 2 dc in sp between the scale you're in and the next one, ch 2, 2 dc
into center of next scale*; repeat from * until the end of the row. When you work between 2 scales, you can
put your hook into the space between the 2 dc's and all the way through the scales so you “catch” them with
the dc's you're making, giving more structure to the fabric.
Row 5: turn, sl st in 2nd dc, *work scale pattern on next set of dc's, skip one set of dc*; repeat from * until
the end of the row, sl st on last dc to secure the end of the scale. At this point you should have 6 scales
interspersed with those from row 3.
Row 6: ch 3, turn, dc at base of 3 ch (or in between the dc's set you are on top of), *ch 2, 2 dc in center of
next scale, ch 2, 2 dc between 2 scales*; until the end of the row.
Rows 7-14: Repeat Rows 3-6 until you reach row 12 (7 rows of scales)
Row 15: sl st together the first and last crocodile st in this row, sc in each st until the end of the round
Row 16: sc in each st around continuing in rounds instead of rows
Row 17-40: hdc in each st around.
Finish off by weaving in the end of row 40. using the long tail from your beginning chain stitch together the
first two scales. Weave in the end.

UPDATE.....

OK so my photo dump is still in need of links. I will adjust that later today.

In the meantime I am working on 4 My Little Ponies from the new show. I have three rainbow dash and one big Mac. I will post photos and link to the wonderful artists that created and shared the patterns I'm using! I look forward to updating more frequently! And hopefully helping a few friends who said they would like to learn!
