Free Criss Cross Fingerless Gloves Crochet Pattern

It's starting to get chilly out there, but if you're anything like me, you can't stand wearing gloves. There's just something about having my fingers covered in fabric that drives me nuts! Fingerless gloves help to keep the wind off of your hands and from blowing up your coat sleeves, while still letting your fingers feel free.

These are quick to make, and are great gifts when you need something fast. Want a FREE printable wrapper to use for giving or selling these babies? Well download mine! After all, I made them just for my readers! Click here: FREE FINGERLESS GLOVES WRAPPER

Alrighty. On to the pattern.

What You Need:
worsted weight yarn
scissors
tapestry needle for sewing in your ends
5.0mm hook

Stitch Abbreviations:
Ch: Chain
Slst: Slip Stitch
Sc: Single Crochet

Foundation: Make enough chains to be able to wrap the piece snugly around the widest part of your hand. For me, I chained 24. ALWAYS have an even number of chains for this pattern. Join with a slst to make a loop.
Row 1: Ch 1, then Sc in each stitch around. Join to first Sc (NOT the ch1) with a Slst.
Row 2: Ch 2. [Sk next st, DC in next st, DC in skipped st, making sure to work the second DC behind the first] Repeat until you've worked around and come back to the first Ch2 of the row. Join to top of first DC with a Slst. NOT the starting chain.
Row 3: Ch 1, and Sc around until you reach the first Ch of the row. Join to the first Sc of the row with a Slst.
Row 4: Ch 2, DC around until you reach the first Ch 2 of the row. Join to the top of the first DC with a Slst.
Row 5: Repeat Row 4.
Row 6: Repeat Row 4.
Row 7: Repeat Row 4.
Row 8: Repeat Row 4.
Row 9: Repeat Row 4.
Row 10: Ch 2. DC in the first 6 Sts. Ch 3, Sk 3 Sts, and DC into the remaining Sts until you come to the first Ch 2 of the row.
Row 11: Repeat Row 3.
Row 12: Repeat Row 2.
Row 13: Repeat Row 3, and finish off.

Work away your ends, and go enjoy! Feel free to make and sell as many of these as you want. I hope you enjoyed my free fingerless gloves crochet pattern. Happy Hookin'!
