Crochet Gloves Pattern
Fingerless Or Not??
Here's a crochet gloves pattern for you. You can work them with full fingers or half fingers, as you like, or even with slits in the fingers so you can poke your fingers through to fasten zippers, pull on mittens for kids, dig for change or find your door key. TIP - read the whole pattern through first to make sure you know when to stop or work slits.
This crochet gloves pattern is worked in finer yarns so they won't be too thick and bulky between your fingers. They are all worked to the same stitch numbers, just different size hooks & thicknesses of yarn used.

Gauge - over single crochet
18sts X 22 rows = 4 inches
Bottom left - with finger slits - worked in fine Double Knitwith a size 4.25mm hook - size - ladies medium/large, men small/medium.
Gauge - 17sts X 20 rows = 4 inches
Top left crochet gloves pattern - red full fingers - worked in light worsted weight with a 4.5mm hook - size - mens large.
Gauge - 15sts X 18rows = 4 inches
Top right - navy half fingers - worked in Red Heart Soft Worstedwith a 4.25mm hook - size - ladies medium/large, men small/medium.
Gauge - 17sts X 20 rows = 4 inches
If you prefer a tighter cuff, use a hook one size smaller for thecuff only.
