Seasonal Stripes Fingerless Gloves

Free Fingerless Gloves Crochet Pattern

These fingerless gloves are given in a small size. However, with a bit of know-how, and following the instructions within the pattern you could crochet these up to any size that you need.

It’s an intermediate pattern. It’s really not that hard to crochet though, but it does get a bit tricky to get the new colors started. See this tutorial for help in regards to the stitch pattern. The thumbhole also is a bit confusing, so I added lots of images to hopefully help with that.

The third downfall is having to carry all those colors up at each round. But if you can get past that, you’ll enjoy this pattern.

What I like about these gloves is that they are nice and stretchy. I attribute that to the yarn that I used. But, you could also make this in a thicker yarn if you wanted to. Just make sure to use a large enough hook to keep the fabric nice and loose.

And if you like this, you might also enjoy more free patterns in the seasonal stripes collection. Or, check out this roundup, or visit the main category for more fingerless gloves crochet patterns.

Special Stitch Instructions:

CA is always worked on top of CA. It is never joined to the other colors, or worked on top of other colors. It has it’s own rounds so to speak, and is worked every other round after rnd 10.

CB is joined with a Standing Crochet stitch to the 2nd st of rnd 11. CB, CC, and CD are joined to each other at color changes, but never to CA.

Yarn is carried up at each rnd.

Please refer to this tutorial on how to work the stitch pattern, change to the new color and carry the yarn.

To avoid a mess of the yarn, rearrange the yarn after each rnd.
