Swan Lake Fingerless Gloves - Now with Photo

[Yaviiniia Loenla Enath]

I haven't ever posted a pattern before (and this pattern isn't tested), so tell me if you have any questions.

 

It's kind of cold here right now, and (because I play the piano) I wanted to make me some fingerless gloves. So I made these, and it was so fun that I'm going to see if I can make up another design!

 

Swan Lake Fingerless Gloves

Yarn Needed:

1 skein white worsted weight yarn or color of choice (MC). I used a fuzzy, sort of sparkly yarn (without a label) that I had laying around. I think this would take 1-2 ounces.

Small amount Red Heart Super Saver in Aspen or complimentary color of choice. (CC)

Hook Size:

I used H, but my hands are not big, and it took just a teeny weeny bit of wiggling to get them on, so you might want to use a size I or J. Or, I suppose, you could make them smaller by using sport weight yarn and a smaller hook.

Ch. 27, join.

Rnd 1. ch 1, sc around, join.

Rnd 2. ch 1, sc around in BL only, join in BL of first st.

Rnds 3-7. Rep Rnd 2.

Rnd 8. sl st in BL next 3 sts, ch 3, crtrc around, skip last 2 sc, ch 5, join in top of ch3.

Thumb:

Attach MC in thumb hole, ch 1. Make 18 sc around, join. When you come to the crtc, make 1 sc in the first end, then sc through the center of both trc, then make 1 sc in the other end.

Next rnd: Sc around, join. FO.

Special Stiches:

crtrc (Crossed TReble Crochet):

*skip next st, treble crochet in next st, treble crochet in next st*

(go BEHIND the treble crochet already made when you treble crochet in the skipped st)

 

Coming Soon: Another ballet-themed pattern for fingerless gloves! I'm still trying to decide between Cinderella or The Nutcracker.

 

Also, I am VERY VERY sorry that there is no picture. I haven't been in crochetville very long, and I haven't got that set up yet. Maybe someone who makes a pair could post a picture somewhere?

Thank you for the pattern I'm going to save it.

Thanks for the pattern. I love fingerless gloves and one of these days I'm going to make a pair for me lol.

[WendyLee]

Thanks so much. Do you have a photo?

[Yaviiniia Loenla Enath]

I don't have a photo, but I could take one. The problem is that I have no way of getting it on the internet. However, my sister got a digital camera for her birthday, so maybe that would help.

 

I'm working on Cinderella fingies at the moment. I think Petrouchka will be next (I could use clown colors for that...stripes, maybe?).

I'm actually kind of combining this and the cinderella fingerless gloves pattern. Very well written, and I like how it looks! Nice thumbhole, too.

 

I actually added about 10 ch before joining in the round, since I'm a guy and I have manly, fat hands.

 

Once I've got two done, I'll post them. I'm about halfway finished with one, and it's only been a couple hours of work!

[Yaviiniia Loenla Enath]

I just have to say make sure you don't make the second glove tighter than the first one! That always happens to me, although it hasn't caused any huge problems yet.

I have a photo now!
