Fi's Fancy Fingerless Gloves

Fi's Fancy Fingerless Gloves by Fiona Langtry

What is Being Made

Fi's Fancy Fingerless Gloves is an original crochet design by Fiona Langtry, created as a downloadable PDF pattern. These fingerless gloves are sized to fit ladies' hands in small-medium dimensions, with adjustable options available to customize the fit. The design allows for creative color work, enabling makers to use as many or as few colors as desired throughout the project.

Craft and Primary Technique

This project is created entirely using crochet techniques. The pattern is written using British crochet terms (also known as UK/AU terms), which differ from American crochet terminology. The design is classified as beginner-intermediate level, making it suitable for crocheters who have mastered basic stitches and are ready to expand their skills with specialty stitches.

Stitches and Special Techniques

The pattern incorporates several key crochet stitches and techniques:

• Treble Crochet (tr) – a fundamental stitch used throughout the main fabric construction
• Foundation Treble Crochet (Ftr) – a specialty technique used to create the foundation row, which combines the chain and first row of stitches in one step. The pattern notes that if you prefer, you can substitute this with a traditional chain foundation (chain of same number of stitches plus 3) followed by a row of treble crochet

The designer encourages crocheters to learn these special stitches, as they are valuable techniques to have in your crochet toolkit, even though more basic stitch substitutions are technically possible.

Materials Required

The fingerless gloves pattern calls for the following materials:

• Yarn: 90 meters of 8ply/DK weight yarn (also labeled as #3 weight). This yardage allows for creative color work and variations
• Crochet Hook: 5.5mm size
• Yarn Needle: For weaving in ends and finishing

Gauge

The pattern specifies a gauge of 4 rows and 7 stitches in treble crochet per 2 inches. Checking gauge before beginning is recommended to ensure proper fit, particularly important for a fitted accessory like fingerless gloves.

Design Notes

Fiona Langtry encourages makers to have fun with the pattern and customize their creations. The adjustable sizing and color flexibility make this design suitable for gifting or creating multiple pairs with different color combinations. The pattern is part of the ReVe DESIGN CO. collection and is available as a downloadable PDF for immediate access.
