A picot bind off was selected to complement the fine yarn and slim arm of the long mohair gloves. Ribbing would have been too bulky and would have detracted from the silhouette; lacy bobbles supplied grace and drama. Read more .... for further details and related links.

The picot bind off is a delicate looking finish of bobbles and has good elasticity. It begins with a normal bind off of one or two stitches and then employs a combination of cable cast ons and clustered bind offs. For these gloves, the a combination of 2 cast-ons and 4 pairwise bind offs was used. Full stepwise, illustrated instructions for this bind off are found in the related article: Picot Bind off.

Once the picots were created, the glove body and edge were blocked. A cardboard template was cut for blocking the hand, wrist and arm. The photo at right shows the detail of blocking the picots using the cardboard template.
