ts – Tunisian simple stitch: insert the hook under a vertical bar on previous row from right to left, bring the yarn over the hook and pull it through; the first row is worked on a foundation chain – insert the hook into the back loop of chain stitches unless otherwise directed. The first chain stitch and the first vertical bar on each row should be skipped. The return pass is worked as follows: bring the yarn over the hook and pull it through one loop on hook, continue to bring the yarn over the hook and pull it through two loops on hook until you have only one loop left on hook.
Cuff
The cuff is worked in Tunisian simple stitch. Both cuffs are worked in the same way.
Row 1: ch 16, 15 ts.
Rows 2-44: Tunisian simple stitch.
Row 45: { 3 ts, cast on 3 sts using backward-loop cast-on, sk 3 } twice, 3 ts.
Row 46: 15 ts.
Row 47: Finish off: Insert the hook under next vertical bar on previous round, bring the yarn over the hook and pull it through 2 loops. Repeat it to the end of the row.
Do not cut the yarn. Work a slip stitch edging along the left side and the bottom side of the cuff.
Lace Edging
The lace edging is worked in regular crochet in rows. If you hold the cuffs in the same direction as they were worked – with the button holes upwards, the edging should be crocheted on the left side for the right cuff and on the right side for the left cuff. The edging is worked over 41 stitches, start crocheting it so that you have the same amount of stitches left on both sides of it.
Row 1: Attach the yarn in the stitch where the edging should begin, ch 1, 1 sc in same stitch where the yarn was attached, { ch 4, sk 3, 1 sc } 10 times. / 10 chsp4
Row 2: ch 3, { 5 dc in chsp4 } 10 times, 1 dc in first sc on row 1. / 10 dc-groups
Row 3: ch 2, 1 dc in last dc on row 2, { ch 1, (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) into middle dc in dc-group, ch 1, :: 1 dc between two dc-groups } 10 times, 1 sdc in third ch on row 1. / 10 chsp2
Row 4: ch 2, 1 dc in sdc on row 3, { (pff, ch 3, pff) into chsp2, :: 1 dc in dc between two chsp1 } 10 times, 1 sdc in first dc on row 3. / 10 chsp3
Row 5: ch 2, { (4 dc, pct, 4 dc) in chsp3, ch 1, sl st in dc, :: ch 1 } 10 times. / 10 edging shells
Fasten off and weave in all ends.
