these American Sign Language alphabet hand shapes are made in half double crochet & each are 14 stitches wide so you could fit quite a few as colorwork onto some of my base patterns such as my oversized pullover, oversized cardigan, or pair of vests & free patterns such as babydoll dress pattern, holly halter top, or abracadabra halter
if needed: colorwork instructions
each graph MUST start on an odd row of your project
you will need about 10g light color & 5g dark color per each hand graphic
if you are spelling something out, be sure to leave about 2 stitches between each letter, and at least 5 stitches between each word
optional: you can use stitch fiddle links to make a copy and copy/paste the hands onto a blank project graph & track your progress
[ autumn olive oversized pullover & other base patterns include blank panel graphs to work with ]
you can use any hook & yarn combination that suits your project for these graphs; I used size 4 worsted weight yarn & 4mm hook
you can download this pattern as an ad-free PDF and get a bonus master list with all hand graphs in one chart — https://www.autumnolive.com/shop-patterns/p/asl-abc-colorwork
