Easy Elizabeth Stitch Fingerless Gloves Crochet Pattern
As much as I try to deny it, the cooler weather is here and winter is on the way. I’ve been wanting to design a new pair of fingerless gloves for a while now, so I guess there’s no better time.
Fingerless gloves are my go to these days as I find I’m constantly needing my phone to check email, respond to texts and deal with business matters. These gloves help to keep a large portion of your hand warm while giving your fingers a little more freedom.
Keep your hands cozy on a chilly day with these gloves. I’m calling this the “Elizabeth” fingerless glove pattern as this crochet pattern uses the Elizabeth stitch. You may remember that I created a stitch tutorial a couple of weeks ago showing you how to create this beautiful stitch – see the tutorial here.
These fingerless gloves are quick to make, taking only a 2 -3 hours to complete.They are the perfect accessory to complete any outfit. With the holidays on the way, they also make a thoughtful handmade gift to give to your friends and family.
This Easy Elizabeth Stitch Fingerless Gloves Crochet pattern is also quite adaptable – experiment with different yarns and colors.
We used Blue Sky Cotton yarn for these fingerless gloves. This is one of my favorite yarns right now. It comes in incredible colors and it’s so soft and pretty. It really does make for a perfect yarn for this project.
And good news! I’ve partnered with local yarn stores to put together a kit for this pattern.
Every kit includes the digital PDF pattern for the Fingerless gloves, plus all of the yarn you need to bring this project to life. Plus you can feel good about your purchase because you’re supporting a small business who is passionate about crochet. I love supporting other makers, and it’s great to be a part of such a supportive community.
Pick up the kit and start creating some Fingerless gloves for gifts this holiday season.
