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 crochet 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.

FINISHED SIZE:  4” wide x 5.5” long

Chain 13 stitches. 

Row 1: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, sc into each stitch until you reach the end of the row, turn.

Turn the ribbed cuff portion you've completed. You’ll now start crocheting along the long side of the section you just made.

Hand Portion

Row 2: Ch3, 1 Elizabeth Stitch in every other stitch across the entire row, turn.

Row 3: Ch3, 1 Elizabeth Stitch in every other stitch across the entire row with the last stitch being worked under the turning chain, turn.

Rows 4 – 12: Repeat the steps in Row 3. If you would like the gloves longer, add additional rows.

Finishing

Fold in half and stitch together using the whip stitch, leaving a space for your thumb to go through (for me that was about 2.75” up for the edge of the cuff, leaving about 1.75” for the hole above and then stitch up the last 1”).

For a more interesting look, add different colors of yarn as you work through the pattern.
