Finger Cozy Pattern

Here is a finger cozy I made that will protect your fingers from the fibers you are knitting or crocheting with. It can also help with keeping up to five different strands of yarn going at once if you are doing fair isle knitting or graphgans. It is very simple to make and takes less than an hour.
Materials:

Size 10 crochet thread in color of your choice
Size 9 crochet hook


Ch 17, sl st to form a ring, being careful not to twist

Rnd 1-2: ch 2, hdc in ea st around, join with sl st
Rnd 3: ch 2, hdc in 2 st, fptr in 3rd stitch on rnd 1, sk 1 st on rnd 2, hdc around, join with sl st
Rnd 4: Repeat rnd 2
Rnd 5: ch 2, hdc in next 3 sts, 1 fptr in fptr on rnd 3, sk 1 hdc in rnd 4, hdc in next 4 hdc, ch 7, sk 7 hdc, hdc in last 2 hdc, join with sl st
Rnd 6: Repeat Rnd 2
Rnd 7: ch 2, hdc in same st as joining, hdc in next 4 hdc, fptr around fptr on rnd 5, sk 1 hdc on rnd 6, hdc around, join with sl st
Rnd 8: Repeat rnd 2
Rnd 9: ch 2, hdc in same st as joining, hdc in next 5 hdc, fptr around fptr on  rnd 7, sk 1 hdc on rnd 8, hdc around, join with sl st
Rnd 10: ch 2, hdc in next 12 sts, ch 7, join with sl st to beginning ch
Rnd 11: ch 2, hdc in same st as joining, hdc in next 7 sts, fptr in fptr on round 9, sk 1 hdc on rnd 10, hdc in each st around, join with sl st
Rnd 12-14: Repeat rnd 2,

Fasten off, weave in ends.

I apologize for all the noise when I went to open my box of crochet hooks. I didn't realize just how LOUD that was going to be. And also I apologize for everything being backwards. I do not know anything about video editing....yet ;)


This is my first podcast, so please bear with me :)
Well, you know how it is. You get your blog up and running, make a few posts, put up a few patterns, add a couple of videos, and then the website quits working altogether. So, I'm relocating here and in the meantime, trying to find those 2 patterns I had posted on the other blog. I pray I can find it somewhere!
