I always have the right side of the stitches facing outward.

I have a question about which is the “right side” of the fabric. When I’m stitching in the round I sometimes feel like maybe I turned the whole “tube” inside out from the instructions. (For instance, when I made the right warmer, I found myself going all the way around to the other side to correctly place my thumb hole stitches, which is the way you describe making the hole for the left warmer… and is consistent with having the fabric inside out.) With hdc, on one side of the fabric you get a distinctive, 3D line visible in each row, and on the other side you don’t. I’ve zoomed in on the photo but I just can’t figure out which side of the stitching is on the outside, and I’m not sure which look I prefer, so I wanted to know what you intended. Thanks! Btw, this is my fav pattern of all the wristers I have tried so far (and I’ve tried many) bc I have muscular forearms but small wrists, and I love the way the warmers taper down at the wrist so they actually feel snug!

I am not sure I understand your question. You will work hdc 2 in the same st (this is the increase). Then 2 hdc each in their own stitch.

I also am having problems. So this is hdc, hdc two single hdcs and then 2 hdc meaning two more all in same stitch?
