Simple zsh

Question

I want to know how you most easily do this. Often I find myself doing this command:
for a in PATTERN; do cksfv -i -g $a/*.sfv; done
I would like to make a simple command that I can issue like:
chk PATTERN
and it would run that command. But I'm not sure how. I've stolen a .zshrc and built a function out of it (from the examples in that). But it doesn't work:
function chk {
for a in $1; do cksfv -i -g $1/*.sfv; done
And I ussue:
chk PATTERN*
But it will only take the first one in the pattern not all of the patterns. So how would I make something that takes all?
But it only uses the first file.
(the -i flag is to ignore cases and -g is to select a file)

chk 'PATTERN*'
Will not work:
chk 'PATTERN*':
chk:1: no matches found: PATTERN*/*.sfv
chk 'PATTERN'
chk:1: no matches found: PATTERN/*.sfv
chk 'PATTERN'*'' will give same as chk PATTERN, it only takes the first
