Fingerless gloves

Striped, fingerless gloves. I had thin stripes in mind, but that’s not exactly what happened with this yarn. I'm okay with that. I like where this is going. In making these gloves, I've also started drafting a few other constructions. So far on this one.

Chain 16 + 1 turning.
Sl st across (back bump).
Sl st blo across.
Sl st blo 34 rows.
Seam inside out (through foundation and back loop).

Back out, sc around placing 28 stitches (do a dec for every set of 6 stitches, then work in an extra two dec at the end and beginning).
Sc around (alt colour).
Griddle stitch around (main colour).

Some more process images. These are from forming the thumbhole and after. On the thumbhole— I can't tell if it feels correct or not. I believe it does and any strangeness is just the result of these being crocheted with a non-stretch stitch and a medium weight yarn. I think gloves, especially crocheted, are best made with a sport weight or lighter for the same reason I typically make fingerless gloves if crocheting — there will be a bit of bulk between any digits or in this case, between the palm and the thumb. But these will soften in the wash anyway.
