Easy Lace Fingerless Gloves Crochet Pattern
I’m scrambling to get those last minute Christmas gifts together this week, and thought you might be doing the same, so this quick and easy crochet pattern is something that works up in an hour or two and is sure to keep those wrists warm this winter.
The simple fingerless gloves pattern is worked sideways to begin, then you will fold the rectangle in half, put the edging on both ends, and then sew up the sides leaving room for the thumb hole. It’s pretty easy, and once you crochet the first glove the second should go very quickly. If you are concerned about them both turning out he right size, crochet the main body of both your fingerless gloves first, then add the edging.
Use the following patterns to crochet a complete gift set for that special person, or charity:

Difficulty:
Easy
Materials Needed:
5mm (H) hook, or hook needed to obtain gauge
80-100 yards Red Heart Super Saver in Aran or color of your choice
Yarn needle
Scissors
Stitches Used:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
Additional Terms:
Stitching in the “3rd loop” of hdc. After turning, work all stitches for that row in the 3rd loop of the hdc from previous row (it will be in the front). Instructions: Look at the top of the stitch, and locate the sideways “V”, bend the stitch to look at the back*, and you should see another “V”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”, this is called the 3rd loop. *When working in rows, this loop will be facing you!
st/sts = stitch/stitches
sp/sps = space/spaces
Here is a video tutorial that explains how to work in the 3rd loop of a hdc if you don’t know how:
Gauge:
15 hdc stitches in 4″
Measurements:
When finished, 3 1/4″ wide, by 7 1/4″ long.
Additional Notes:
-ch-2, and ch-3 at beginning of row counts as a stitch
-mark first and last st of row if you find your project is taking off diagonally so you don’t miss those stitches. That is what causes the pattern to distort.

*If your hand is wider or narrower you can adjust the number of repeats here, You will need to increase or decrease the number of stitches in the edging as well so the fingerless glove lays smoothly. Make sure your stitch count is an even number.

For the second glove sew up the open side from the opposite end-this way your stitches will match on both gloves when you wear them.
