A chunky two-ply with very short color runs is worked in rows in stockinette. The fabric is shaped into a subtle hourglass with short-rows. This hourglass folds over the hand and wrist and is seamed up one side, creating a tailored fit. The short-rows are very basic and easy to follow in this pattern—a good project for practicing this shaping technique.
