Opera Sleeves
Lion Brand® Vanna's Glamour®
GAUGE: 1 Flower Motif = 2 3/4 in. (7 cm) diameter. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: Cl (cluster) Yarn over, insert hook into indicated st and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops, (yarn over, insert hook into same stitch, and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops) twice, yarn over and draw through all loops on hook.
hdc2tog (hdc dec) (Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop) twice, yarn over and draw through all 5 loops on hook. |
NOTES: 1. Sleeves are worked flat, from widest end to narrowest end (cuff), and then seamed.
2. Flower Motifs are made first. The Sleeves are then worked in sections of chain mesh. Motifs are joined to the mesh as work progresses. Two motifs are joined in each section. Each section, except last section, is two ch-sps narrower than the previous section.
3. Flower Motifs will be referred to by letter (Motif A, Motif B, etc. up to Motif J), even though they are all identical, for ease in following pattern. Use markers to keep track of which Flower Motif is which.

| Opera Sleeves Reviewed by Amy Jewel Campbell on 2012-05-10 |

| This pattern is worth the effort,you just have to be willing to put in some extra effort. It is a good idea to use the markers where suggested & also might be a good idea to keep track of how many ch 4 sc you need to do each row so you don't get confused. I made these for a friend for her wedding & they are gorgeous!
