Zig Zag Gloves: Behind the Scenes

FYI for crafters who might be interested.

My graphed mosaic crochet pattern for fingerless gloves

Crochet hook: 2.5mm (or whatever size works best with your yarn)

I worked this in Single-Row Mosaic Crochet in the round. And with working in the round, I can work each row as one colour, and the next row in another.

Remember that in the usual flat Mosaic Crochet & Mosaic Knitting, each square-row [row of squares on the graph] represents 2 rows in the same colour (represented by the starting black or white square on the right edge).

Hence for this Zig Zag gloves, I worked one colour per row; changing at every row.
