Hello. Oh, how I love wearing crochet fingerless gloves and these are pretty easy to make and stretchy.
Here is the pattern :o)
Classic crochet fingerless gloves
“crochet fingerless gloves”
These gloves have a nice stretch so they are great for a gift as the size need not be exact. An easy to use unisex pattern for adults and adaptation below for children.
For the childrens gloves I used a dash robin indigo hand dyed in 5ply
For the adults size gloves I used Patons classic wool in moonrock and
dash robin organic natural dyed grey in 8ply.
Supplies Needed for adult unisex
Size 5mm crochet hook
2x 50 gram balls or 1x 100 gram yarn
Scissors
Pattern Notes
These classic fingerless gloves feature a subtle raised stripe created by stitching only into the back stitch of every second row.
They are made up flat and sewn together with a gap for the thumb. They work very well in stripes, simply change colours as you like or as I have (alternating colours by sets of two rows.)
Special Stitches
No complex stitches are required. You need to be able to make a treble, half treble and know how to stitch into both the whole stitch and backstitch only.

This grey and black striped pair are now in London gracing a friends' beloved brothers hands.
And the childrens' sized ones are made with my hand dyed yarn for my youngest son.
About time I made some for him!!
As the evenings have cooled here in subtropical Brisbane we are getting this!
The season isn't long here so I snap up any rhubarb I can when it's available.
The colour is gorgeous-and when made into a crumble, with proper dollops of cream...all I can say is yum!
This rhubarb coloured hat was made with a vintage pattern for another friend...
Even my latest hand dyed yarn seems to have been inspired by rhubarb!
And aside from baking and dyeing and making I have been reading/watching my way through this stack from the library...they're all very good!
