I’ve gotten a number of questions across platforms regarding this piece including someone who emailed me about it so I thought I’d put a comprehensive response here

Q: Is there a pattern?

A: No, this was freehanded, I made it up as I went, but this is what it looks like when laid flat, it is more or less a rectangle that was knit side to side. I knit it to fit my arm and tried it on as I went, if you want to make something similar, you will have to fit it to your own measurements

Q: Can I crochet this?

A: Not really, most of it was knit, and you will not get the same effect by crocheting it. The border area for the lacing and thumb loop was crocheted with a very small hook however, but the majority of this was knit

Q: What size needles and yarn did you use?

A: I cannot remember what size needles I used, and may have actually used multiple sizes. The yarn is size 10 mercerized crochet cotton, the same kind commonly used for doilies

Q: How did you get the big holes?

A: Loose tension, big needles, small yarn. The very large holes were created by rows of yo k2tog, which I alternated with regular rows

Q: How is it fastened?

A: Like this, the attached “tail” is used to lace it up. Most of the tail is actually machine knit rows of stockingnette, with a few hand knit rows of garter at the beginning to give it some grip
