I made a couple pairs of tekko this weekend. I had wanted to have these done before Pennsic, but I was too busy with the gate project. The white pair came first, as a trial of the pattern. they're OK, except a tiny bit too small and the straps are too wide. I enlarged the pattern by about a half inch for the green pair, and used 1/8-panel straps instead of 1/4-panel straps. The 'body' of each tekkou is two layers. The only way I could think of to finish that curvy part that goes up the back of each hand was to sew it in two layers and turn it. The strap at the elbow end closes the opening. I have some step-by-step pictures that I'll hopefully post soon. These came out much better than I was expecting them to.

I have some step-by-step pictures that I'll hopefully post soon. And here you go, the project page now has step-by-step process with pictures. Let me know if anybody needs more detail on any of that, and I'll see what I can do to improve them.
