Lacy Fingerless Gloves
Author
Christie Pruitt
Introduction
I wanted a lacy, dainty, delicate glove. Something light to wear in the Summer months ahead. I think these look so elegant and lady-like! Don't you agree?
Materials List
1 Skein Bernat Baby, Fingering Weight, 100% Acrylic, White
Size "E" (3.5 mm) Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
Finished Size
A woman's size Small/Medium
Gauge
6 dc + 3 Rows = 1" in Pattern
(Pattern is a multiple of 8 + 5 chs if you want to work a swatch first.)
Notes
These would be awesome worked in a 100% Cotton, or a Size 3 cotton thread, or even a variegated yarn!

About Me:
I'm a stay-at-home Mom of 2 boys, ages 7 and 5. I have been hand-dyeing my own yarns on ebay for several years now and love doing it! (ebay id: pigment-of-my-imagination) You can view some of my patterns on elann.com, in their Free Pattern Section (look for Christie Pruitt). I began crocheting at age 10 and have been knitting for 8 years. My one dream: to get published - somewhere! :)

Thank you! I love mine! I'm thinking about adding fingers to it though - because it would protect my hands when shopping, etc. :)
To the designer of these gloves. Thank you so much for posting this pattern. I've made 4 pair as Christmas presents. I'm recently retired and have picked up crocheting again and am really enjoying it....Thanks again for helping me to transition from the working world of chos to the easy life of retirement!
Very nice!
These are beautiful! Exactly what I was looking for. I don't understand what DC means or what 8 in 5 means. I really want to make these! Can you email me at janecometrue@rocketmail.com and give me further instructions?? Thank you!! Great gloves!!!
I appreciate your sharing your own pattern, Ms. Pruitt. I enjoyed crocheting this pair of fingerless gloves. They are the prettiest pair I've seen on the net.
I made a pair in Blue Sky Alapa Silk which is just about the most beautiful thing I have ever made. The weight of this yarn seems perfect for your pattern.
I am trying it in handpainted silk, next.
I am posting pictures of the finished pair on my blog page if you care to look.

Thanks, again. Kathleen
Thanks so much for sharing this pattern Christie! I was looking for a pattern for my teenage nieces and these are perfect. I saw this pattern in the afternoon and just finished making the first pair (now it's 11pm!), the pattern is so easy to follow. Great job!
Thank you for sharing this great pattern, Christie! I just used part of a skein of worsted weight yarn (with less than a yard to spare!) to make a pair of these beautiful gloves. I used 29 sts and size K hook, and worked only 10 rows, and they fit perfectly. Also, they match the crocheted pineapple shawl I just finished beautifully. It made my day! :)
