This stitch is done in multiples of 4

 

To Start

ch 24 and sl st into beginning ch to form a ring.

TIP: The Crocodile Stitch

makes the gloves much bigger on the hand and feels loose, so if you can get your

hand through a chain of 20 it’s much better.

 

Rounds 1

Ch 1 and sc in the first ch space that you just slip stitched into. Place marker here. Crochet 1 SC into all sts around, at the end of round just continue and

 

Round 2

sc in the first SC where you placed your marker. Crochet 1 SC into all sts around, at the end of round

sl st in beginning st. (24 sts)

This next round is called the Prep row, It’s needed so that you can make the scales next round.

 

Round 3 – Prep Row

ch 3, DC into same st, ch 1, * sk a st, DC 1, ch 1, sk a st , and V st in next st (DC, ch 1, DC , ch 1)* repeat until you get to the last stitch, which should be a skipped stitch and then sl st into 2nd ch of beginning ch3.

Round 4

repeat sl st into the stitch (not to post) of the last DC of the round.

 

Round 5 – Prep Row – 1st row of repeat

Round 21

Make sure you have a marker here. As you see by the picture below, we’ll be using the side post’s of our DC from our scales to put a sc into this round. Also you’ll be using the st in the center of our scales and the single DC’s we have in between our scales.

Remember the multiples of this stitch is 4. (24 sts)

ch 1, SC into the same st. * Sc into the first side stitch of the scale. SC in center stitch of the scales, SC in the next side st of the scale. SC in the st of the DC. * repeat for round until you reach your marker. St st in marker st to end round

 

MAKING THE THUMB

Round 22 – thumb

ch 5, sk 2 sts, * DC in next st. Stick your finger in the hole to make sure your finger fits. If it’s too small, ripe out your DC and ch one more before DCing in next st. But keep in mind this pattern is still written out for just a ch of 5. Once you have it the size you need then continue.

 

Ch 1, sk a st and V st in next st. (DC 1, ch 1, DC 1) sk a st, DC and ch 1 in next st.* repeat.

You are creating another prep row here. Continue round until you reach your beginning stitch of ch 5. Your should have 2 sts to skip before the sl where you began your ch 5. You want to skip those 2 sts as normal and going using the bottom ch, sc into it continue

 

Round 23

and sc into the remaining 4 chs.

Sc into the 1st DC. Continue the round as normal making your scales.

* DC 5 down the post of the first ch 2, then going up the next post of the following dc, you want to dc 5 down the post of your ch 3 from last round. Sl st

onto the post of the following single dc. * repeat around until you reach your marker again.

 

Round 24

Along the beginning ch 5 work a sc dec, sc dec, using the next 4 sc’s.

Then sc in the next sc, then * V st and ch 1 into the next st, sk a st, dc 1, ch 1 in next st. sk a st * repeat until you reach your beginning sc decreases where your thumb begins.

 

Thumb –

Skip the 1st sc for thumb and DC, ch 1, DC ch 1 in next st. Skip next st and DC 1 and ch 1 in next st which brings you up to your 1st V st. Using the 1st DC of your V st, sl st in DC to end your round.

 

Round 25

ch 1, and go right back into that same st you just sl stitched and SC. sc in all sts around like you did for round 21 – sc in center of scales, sc in

dc side stitches , sc in dc.

Once you reach your marker again just continue…

 

Rounds 26 – 28

continue and sc in all sts around, after round 28, skip the last stitch and sl st into

beginning st and ch 1, cut yarn. Leaving enough of a tail to be worked in with a

tapestry needle.
