Free Crochet Pattern: Loveland Fingerless Gloves

It’s November in Colorado. The whole nation is gripped in a cold spell and here, well, here it’s bright and sunny and 42 degrees – which is actually “no coat” weather. Even so, there’s still a bit of a nip in the air – perfect weather for fingerless gloves!

These gloves are worked up in any worsted weight yarn and are perfect for chilly days – allowing you to text, shoot photos, and let him slip that ring on without the fuss of pulling off bulky gloves or mittens.

Yardage and Materials

• Approximately 150 yards of worsted (4) weight yarn
• Approximately 6 yards of coordinating color worsted (4) weight yarn
• 5.00 mm crochet hook (size H)
• Tapestry needle
• Sewing scissors

Stitches and Gauge

• CH – chain
• HDC – half-double crochet
• DC – double crochet
• TC – triple crochet
• FPHDC – front post half-double crochet
• BPHDC – back post half-double crochet
• SLST – slip stitch
• ST –  stitch

Gauge:  5 HDC sts x 6 rows of HDC = 2” square

Important Notes

• Whether you’re a beginner or not, it’s always a good idea to read through the pattern before starting to work.
• You will need to know how to stitch around the post from the front and the back. Here is a quick tutorial.
• To work a decrease HDC: yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull up a loop in the next st, yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook. In this way, you work one HDC across two stitches to decrease.
• To increase: Work two HDC in one stitch.

Once the hearts are made, center them on the glove with the point facing toward the fingers and stitch on using the tapestry needle.
