Here you can find the free crochet pattern for some fingerless gloves. True to my usual designs, these are a quick and easy make, using basic stitches and techniques.
These were one of the first patterns I designed, taking all the crochet techniques I love, that look complicated but actually making them a nice beginners project.
These are perfect for the cooler months when you need cosy warm wrists, and hands, but access to your fingers.
The are made using Double crochets mainly (USA terms), Front post Double crochet, Back Post double crochets and chain stitch, but they start with a Foundation double crochet row.
I adore foundation double crochet as a way of starting as it gives a lovely straight row, where as a chain can be a bit wiggly!
So here they are Please pin the photo for later:
Yarn for the Wrist Warmers
For my first pair, I used a hand dyed Double Knit Skein I had in my stash, but I’ve remade them using an off the shelf Double knit.
I chose to go for a premium acrylic, Stylecraft Bellissima in Purple Passion, as I loved the deepness of the colour.
But any Double knit will do, to get the correct size.

For something more fancy – this is a great yarn from the USA

How long does it take to crochet some fingerless gloves?
These fingerless gloves are pretty quick to make, but as they use a Double Knit yarn, will take about an hour per glove.
For a quicker make, about 20 minutes a glove check out the link below

Can you make these fingerless gloves bigger?
These fingerless gloves will fit a small to medium ladies hand.
The measure 17cm x 10.5cm when made, but they will stretch when worn.
The easiest way to change the size of these gloves would be to use a slightly thicker yarn and a bigger hook.
As a guide a worsted weight yarn and a 5.5mm hook would make them about 2cm bigger.
What stitches do the Fingerless gloves use?
These are really simple to make. You only need to know a few stitches (USA terms).
