New Fingerless Gloves: Soft Blue Multi & Purple Multi

[Selune]

Crocheted up some more fingerless gloves. I'm just loving this pattern. I'm making these for my friends for Christmas. Next up I'm going to try a little larger hook to see if they will turn out a little larger and stretchier for my bigger-handed friends. (Plus, I think maybe one less row of regular yarn and a rim of fun fur or the like.) My hands are pretty small, so I don't think they will fit well on most of my friends' hands. I think I'll also make some matching scarves. No hats, though. No one I know except one friend wears hats. We're all too worried about our hair to stay warm.

 

This was done in a very, very soft multi-blue yarn. These are easily going to be my favorites.

 

 

Next up, purple multi. This yarn is a little harsher than I'd like. Somewhat scratchy when compared to the light blue above. Nonetheless, still pretty. Pics turned out a little blue, but it's really more of a deep purple.

They're great, I like both sets but I think I prefer the colours in the blue version

Both pair are very pretty and practical. I love fingerless gloves. My sister knitted me a pair a couple of years ago and I use them all the time in the winter. Yes, even in Florida

Yeah, me too. Plus they're sooooo soft. Maybe I'll brush the insides of the purple ones.

Those are great! I need to make me a pair!

Did you make up the pattern? I have seen quite a few of these & I love these-especially the purple.

Beautiful job! I agree with ginamarie.....I LOVE your pattern, is it available or did you just "wing it"?

The basics of the pattern are from Crochet Fashions in Motion DVD by Leisure Arts. I used the shell pattern on the DVD (5DC) and decreased the number of shells lenghtwise to get a tighter fit, then increased the number of rows to make the gloves longer. I also used fewer DCs on the ruffle part, because I didn't want them sticking out too far and making it difficult to hold stuff with all that yarn under your hands. On the soft blue ones, and I'll have to post a pic of this, I also recently took some super soft thin fluffy white yarn and crocheted around the edges. It really looks stunning. Wish I had more of the blue yarn to work with. I'd make a scarf and hat!!!
